Consular legalization of foreign papers for civil status registration in Vietnam
Hi DMS Attorney in Vietnam! I am a Vietnamese, married to a foreign national. I am applying for birth registration in Vietnam for my newborn son, who was born abroad. Could you advise me if the papers regarding my child born abroad need to implement consular legalization ?
Hi!
Supporting documents, papers used in your child’s birth registration shall need to implement consular legalization as prescribed by law, see below:
Consular legalization of foreign papers:
Papers granted, notarized or certified by competent foreign agencies for civil status registration in Vietnam shall be legalized by consulate in accordance with law, unless they are exempted under a treaty to which Vietnam is a contracting party (Article 10 Law on Civil Status No. 60/2014/QH13 dated 20 November 2014).
