When Vietnam Embassy Legalisation can be used

 

When establishing a formal entity or when the Vietnamese government requests official documents from the investor's nation to process a specific civil, legal, or business application on behalf of a foreign person or foreign entity, foreign investors in Vietnam frequently go through the procedure of consular legalization.

According to international law, Vietnam Embassy Legalisation is the process of authenticating or certifying a legal document so that a foreign country's legal system would recognize it and provide it full legal effect. In Vietnamese law, the process of certifying the stamps, signatures, and titles on foreign documents as having Vietnamese authority in order for them to be accepted and used in Vietnam is known as consular legalization.

In other words, the legalization procedure at the consulate helps to confirm the legitimacy of documents issued by one nation for use in another. When a document is legalized, the authority simply verifies the signatures and stamps that appear on it; it is not responsible for the veracity of the content. The entire process is handled jointly by the governments of both countries the Originating Country and the Destination Country with Vietnam serving.

Except for specific, unique documents provided by those nations with which Vietnam has an agreement, all documents issued by foreign governments must, in general, undergo the consular legalization process in order to be recognized and used in Vietnam. The following papers are typically required for consular legalization:

    The certificate of incorporation, the articles of association, the charter, a company extract, and a company profile are all necessary documents for the incorporation of an offshore business.

    Degrees, diplomas, birth and marriage certificates, criminal background checks, letters of employment experience or recommendations, chastity certificates, and other personal documents are examples of personal papers.

Documents exempt from consular legalization

Certain foreign documents could be exempt from consular legalization if certain conditions are met, including (i) treaties to which Vietnam and the foreign nation are parties, (ii) instances in which Vietnamese law permits the exemption.
