1. Everything you need to know about consular legalization

1.1. What is foreign consular legalization?

According to Vietnamese law, consular legalization is the certification of seals, signatures, and titles on foreign papers and documents by a competent Vietnamese agency to recognize and recognize those papers and records for use in Vietnam.

So, documents or papers issued abroad that need to be used in Vietnam must go through consular legalization, and the consular legalization process must be carried out at the Vietnamese embassy in the country that issued the documents or papers or at the Vietnamese embassy in the approved.

For example, a British Virgin Island (BVI) company certificate that wants to be used in Vietnam must go through consular legalization at the Vietnam Embassy in BVI. In addition, consular legalization is possible at the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore because Singapore and Vietnam approve of this.

• Public documents (issued by the government at the place of consular legalization) mostly only require soft copies to check information.
• Public documents (issued by governments in a place OTHER than where consular legalization is granted) require original documents to compare information.
• Regular documents only require signature and stamp verification.

==>Accordingly, 'consular legalization' is an administrative procedure that serves to confirm the value of foreign public documents and verify the authenticity of the signatures on those documents.
