Consular legalization for documents of Sweden

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

1. Document Authentication System in Sweden

Sweden 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 Sweden Documents for Use in Vietnam

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

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