Vietnam is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. The Apostille certificate process is thus not followed. South African documents destined for use in Vietnam are legalised through an Authentication process regulated by High Court Rule 63. Additionally to the authentication at the High Court, the document must also be Authenticated by DIRCO and must go through an Embassy Attestation process at the Vietnam Embassy located in Pretoria. Depending on the type of document the document will sometimes need to be attested or notarised by an Notary Public and sometimes will have to be additionally verified by further parties such as SAPS, SAQA, Umalusi or the HPCSA.

The process can get confusing and time consuming. Getting the process wrong or not managing the process and time frames may end up costing you that overseas opportunity. Louwrens Koen Attorneys can assist you through this whole process and can even have your document translated if required. We can legalise through the Embassy Attestation process almost any South African document or certificate for official use in Vietnam.

Providing comprehensive Vietnam Embassy Attestation Services for South African documents. We include notary public services & certification, the SA Authentication Certificate and Angola Embassy stamps. Attesting documents with the Angola embassy in Pretoria can be confusing and expensive if you do not understand how to process documents correctly.
