Legalise and Attest your South African Documents at the Vietnam embassy

News Alert! As of the 11th September 2026, Vietnam is now a part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This means that it is no longer necessary to pay for the additional step of attesting your documents at the Vietnam embassy – a simple apostille is all that is needed to legalise your documents for use in Vietnam.

Document attestation at the Vietnam Embassy is essential for those planning to move, work, or conduct business in Vietnam. Our services include attesting various documents for individuals getting married, applying for residency or family visas, pursuing business opportunities, or seeking medical treatment in Vietnam. Ensure your documents are properly attested for a smooth and hassle-free experience in Vietnam.

Vietnam Embassy attestation ensures that your documents are verified and accepted by Vietnamese authorities. This crucial process provides an additional level of validation, making your documents legally recognized and ready for official use in Vietnam.

The actual process of getting your documents attested for vietnam can take a klong time. This is because all documents have to get a DIRCO apostille, which takes 7-15 working days at the moment. In addition, the process to get degrees at SAQA authenticated before being sent to DIRCO can take 4-6 weeks, so it is essential to plan ahead and manage your timelines properly, especially if you are also working with time limited documents like Police Clearances or Letter of No Impediment (single status letters)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Embassy Services to apply for our unabridged birth certificates with Home Affairs.  We applied for 2 certificates in August and got both, including Apostilled by mid October.  Working with Embassy Services was a great choice for us because it made the process flawless and stress free.  They included a courier service to Mauritius, which was super convenient.  I can highly recommend using them!
