Document Legalization at theEmbassy of Vietnam

If you have Canadian documents that need to be recognized in Vietnam, you will need to have these documents authenticated and legalized. The Canadian document authentication and legalization process consists of three steps:

1. Document preparation
2. Authentication
3. Legalization

Click on each of the steps above for more information. The Embassy of Vietnam in Ottawa only legalizes Canadian documents that have first been authenticated by the appropriate apostille authority. Once they receive your authenticated documents, they will proceed with the legalization portion of the process (step 3) and translations (if applicable).

Yes, we can certainly assist with the notarization, authentication, legalization, and translation of your documents for marriage in Vietnam. If you are getting married in Vietnam there are certain documents that you are required to provide. According to the Embassy of Vietnam in Canada, the documents required are:

• a passport copy, original long-form birth certificate, a provincial marriage search certificate, a Single Status Declaration, a medical certificate, and a divorce certificate and judgement (if previously divorced). All of these documents, except your birth certificate, need to be notarized.
• In case the applicant cannot go to Vietnam to submit all marriage documents or divorce papers in person, the applicant has to make a Power of Attorney (you can download from their website), certified by a Notary Public or Commissioner for Oath and fill out two Biography Information Sheets (you can download from their website) and two Applications for Marriage Registration (you can download from their website) with a recent photo attached to each form.
