Moving to Vietnam? We provide expedited federal authentications for FBI background checks through the U.S. Department of State, along with state-level Secretary of State certifications and complete Vietnam Embassy consular legalization across all 50 states for 100% acceptance by Vietnamese immigration and the Department of Labor.
Because Vietnam is not a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, standard state apostilles are not valid on their own. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA Vietnam / Cục Lãnh sự), Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (DOLISA), and the Vietnam Immigration Department require U.S. documents to undergo state authentication, U.S. Department of State certification, and consular legalization by the Embassy of Vietnam in Washington, D.C.
For foreign managers, experts, and technical workers employed by Vietnamese enterprises. DOLISA mandates consular legalized university diplomas, 3+ years work experience verification letters from previous employers, and an apostilled FBI background check.
For foreign professionals, investors, and dependents residing in Vietnam for 1 to 5 years without visa renewals. Issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department upon submitting legalized work permits, investment certificates, or marriage/birth records.
Marrying a Vietnamese citizen in Vietnam requires registering with the district Department of Justice (Phòng Tư pháp). Requires an authenticated Single Status Affidavit (Certificate of No Impediment), divorce decrees, and birth records legalized by the Vietnamese Embassy.
For overseas Vietnamese (Viết Kiều) and foreign spouses or children of Vietnamese citizens. Requires legalized U.S. birth certificates, marriage certificates, or documentation establishing Vietnamese ancestry submitted to the Embassy or Consulates.
Authorizing representatives or family in Vietnam to buy, sell, or transfer property, claim inheritances, or manage domestic bank accounts. Requires a notarized Power of Attorney authenticated by the State, USDOS, and the Embassy of Vietnam.
For foreign investors incorporating a 100% Foreign-Owned Enterprise (FOE) or joint venture. The Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) requires legalized state-issued Articles of Incorporation, Corporate Bylaws, Certificates of Good Standing, bank financial statements, and audited accounts.
For academic diplomas, TEFL/TESOL teaching certificates, adoption dossiers, and commercial agreements required by Vietnamese ministries. Certified through the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Cục Lãnh sự).

Vietnam is not a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention. Standard Hague apostille certificates are not recognized by Vietnamese authorities, schools, or government departments.
For public documents, employment credentials, and commercial files to be legally accepted in Vietnam (including Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City), they must be authenticated by the issuing State Secretary of State, authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and legalized by the Embassy of Vietnam. iPride oversees this entire chain seamlessly.
The Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) in Vietnam enforces stringent rules for foreign work permit applicants. FBI Background Checks, diplomas, TEFL certifications, and experience letters must all bear official consular legalization stamps.
We provide comprehensive authentication, professional pre-verification to avoid embassy rejections, expedited Washington D.C. courier routing, and certified Vietnamese translation services.
Unlike standard apostilles, Vietnam legalization involves strict diplomatic protocols. Ensure your records comply with these rules to prevent embassy rejection:
We eliminate the complexity of multi-agency document attestation with our direct Washington, D.C. courier network.
We route your documents seamlessly through state Secretary of State levels, the U.S. State Department, and the Vietnam Embassy, keeping you updated at every stage.
Embassies reject self-submitted documents due to improper notarization or missing credentials. Our experts pre-validate every stamp and seal before submission.
We utilize secure, daily tracked courier routing between our offices, government agencies, and the Vietnam Embassy, with optional DHL international return directly to Vietnam.
