What is certified translation & notarization?
It's a translation with attestation and notarization, valid for administrative, civil-status, and legal procedures. Unlike a casual translation, a certified translation is accepted by authorities in Vietnam (and the U.S.).
Where it fits in the legalization chain
For U.S.-issued documents used in Vietnam, translation is usually the final step: Notarize → Apostille → Consular legalization → Translation. Translating last ensures the translation also covers the certification stamps.
Learn the whole process: Consular legalization — what you need to know before returning to Vietnam.

Frequently asked questions
- How is certified translation different from a regular translation?
- A certified translation comes with the translator's/agency's attestation and notarization, accepted by authorities in Vietnam. A regular translation has no legal standing for official procedures.
- Should I translate before or after consular legalization?
- Translation is usually the last step, after the document is notarized and legalized, so the translation also covers the certification stamps. VietVisas advises the correct order per document.
- Which documents usually need certified translation?
- Birth, marriage, divorce, diplomas/transcripts, background checks, powers of attorney, contracts, and many other documents used in Vietnam.
- Can the translation be used right away in Vietnam?
- Yes. VietVisas's certified translations are prepared to the correct standard for administrative, civil-status, and legal procedures in Vietnam.
