Consular legalization for documents of Colombia

Colombia is a member of the Hague Convention, whereas Vietnam has not yet acceded to the Convention. As a result, documents issued in Colombia cannot be used legally in Vietnam through Apostille certification alone—they must go through the full consular legalization process.

Colombia's Document Authentication System

Colombia applies two types of consular certification systems depending on the country where the documents will be used:

• Apostille Stamp/Seal:
  Applied to documents intended for use in countries that are members of the Hague Convention.
• Consular Legalization Stamp/Seal:
  Applied to documents intended for use in countries not party to the Hague Convention, including Vietnam.

Legalization Process for Colombia Documents to Be Used in Vietnam

To ensure Colombia documents are legally recognized and accepted in Vietnam, they must go through two essential steps:

1. Consular Certification by the Competent Authorities in Colombia
   This step verifies the legal validity of the document in Colombia. (Apostille is not used in this case.)
2. Consular Legalization by the Embassy of Vietnam in Colombia
   After certification by the Colombia authorities, the document must be further legalized by the Vietnamese diplomatic mission in Colombia for it to be valid for use in Vietnam.
