Philippine documents for use in Vietnam
A DFA apostille is enough. No embassy legalization is needed.
The Apostille Convention entered into force for Vietnam on 11 September 2026. Because the change is recent, we confirm with the receiving Vietnamese authority before filing.
Steps for Vietnam
- Obtain the original or official copy (for example from PSA, the school or the court)
- Complete any prerequisite step (CAV, RTC certification of the notary)
- DFA apostille
- Certified translation into the required language, if needed
- Courier to you or directly to Vietnam
