India is a member of the Hague Convention, while Vietnam is currently not a member of this Convention. Therefore, documents issued in India cannot be used legally in Vietnam by Apostille certification alone—they must go through the full consular legalization process.

1. Document Authentication System in India

India applies two systems of document authentication, depending on the country in which the documents will be used:

  • Apostille Stamp and Seal:
    For documents intended for use in Hague Convention member countries.
  • Consular Legalization Stamp and Seal:
    For documents intended for use in countries not party to the Hague Convention, including Vietnam.

2. Legalization Process for India Documents for Use in Vietnam

To have India documents legally recognized and accepted in Vietnam, two key steps must be completed:

  • Consular Certification by a Competent Authority in India
    This step confirms the legal validity of the documents in India. (Apostille is not applicable in this case.)
  • Consular Legalization at the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in India
    After being certified in India, the documents must be further legalized by a Vietnamese diplomatic mission in India to be valid for use in Vietnam.

For certain official documents, Indian citizens may contact the Embassy or Consulate of India directly to make a sworn declaration or obtain a certified copy. These documents can then be legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam (either the Consular Department in Hanoi or the Ho Chi Minh City Department of External Relations), making them officially recognized and valid for use in Vietnam.
