Note that before your documents can be legalized at the Embassy of Vietnam they must first be authenticated by the appropriate government office in Canada.

The provincial apostille offices processing times range from 5-15 business days. The processing time for apostille at Global Affairs Canada may fluctuate. However, the current processing time (Jan 2024) for authentication at Global Affairs Canada is up to 75 business days.

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.

The first thing you need to know is that Canada has finally become a signatory of The Hague Apostille Convention. Your documents will need to be submitted to the appropriate apostille office in Canada. The apostille offices function on a jurisdictional basis, depending on where the documents originated.

You can certainly handle the process on your own (by mail or in person), or you can hire a service to handle the process on your behalf. If you decide to do the process on your own, it is critical to ensure your documents are prepared correctly. If you make a mistake in the preparation of your documents, they will be rejected and you will have to re-start the process again from the beginning.

Additionally, you should be aware that if done by mail, the process can take many weeks, depending on the apostille office involved. Using an expert service to handle the process for you can ensure that unnecessary delays are avoided.
