### What is document legalization in Vietnam?
Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Vietnamese document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Vietnamese birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.
Legalzing a document in Vietnam certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Vietnam and confirms the capacity of that official.
Vietnamese document legalization is a two-step process:
- First the document will need to be legalized by Vietnamese authorities.
- Then the document will need to be legalized by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Vietnam or non-resident embassy accredited to Vietnam).
- Note that Vietnam is not issue Apostille Stamps, so Vietnamese documents cannot be legalized by Apostille.
