As international cooperation and cross-border activities continue to expand, the need to use Vietnamese documents abroad or foreign documents in Vietnam has become increasingly common for both individuals and businesses.

In practice, however, many organizations are not fully aware that document legalization requirements vary significantly depending on the destination country.

At Legalization.vn, we do not merely provide standalone legalization or consular certification services. Instead, we offer country-specific consultation and document handling, with procedures tailored to:

• The type of document

• The purpose of use

• The receiving country’s legal requirements

Why Do Legalization Requirements Differ by Country?

Document legalization is the process of verifying the authenticity of signatures, seals, and the signing authority on a document so that it can be legally recognized by foreign authorities.

Each country has its own:

• Legal system and regulations

• Competent authorities

• Requirements regarding language, document format, and certification sequence

As a result, there is no universal legalization procedure applicable to all countries.
A document properly legalized for one country may not be accepted by another if the procedure does not comply with its specific regulations.
