Do my foreign documents need a Vietnamese translation?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Yes. Documents issued abroad are filed with a Vietnamese translation, and the translation must be certified in Vietnam or by a Vietnamese mission. Names and passport numbers have to match exactly across every document. We arrange the translations once your originals arrive (confirm the exact form for your file with your specialist).
