There are three compulsory parts to getting your document legalised from the Vietnam embassy.
Firstly, GulfVisa will stamp your document from a Solicitor (some documents are exempt – see below)
Secondly, we will stamp your document from the British Foreign Ministry (FCO)
Finally, we will stamp your document from the Vietnam Embassy in London
(Please note Gulfvisa will legalise a copy of your document except for the exempted documents below)
The following documents are exempt from solicitor stamping:
- Original UK Birth Certificate
- Original UK Marriage Certificate
- Original UK Police Clearance Certificate (ACRO only)
- Original UK Death Certificate
- Original UK Medical Report signed by a UK Doctor*
* UK doctor must be registered with the British Foreign Office (FCO) Legalisation Department
The Vietnamese embassy has now introduced appointments for document attestation services. Customers have two options: standard (we book the earliest date for you based on the availability of the Vietnamese embassy appointment system) or same / next day (+ £30 per document - embassy charge).
Do I need to send the original document or a copy?
You always need to provide your original certificate. Whether the original document or a copy of it is stamped depends on the following points:
- If your document is not exempt from solicitor stamping, we will make a copy of your document and stamp the copy. This is because the solicitor does not stamp originals. However, the solicitor must still see the original.
Note: Non-ACRO police certificates are the only original certificates which are legalised by the solicitor.
- If your document is exempt from solicitor stamping (see above), your original document will be stamped. This is because the FCO does not allow stamping of copies. Therefore, you must provide the original certificate.
Non-ACRO Police Certificates
ACRO Police Certificates are the only police certificates which do not require solicitor stamping. Therefore, you will only have to select the service which includes FCO + Vietnam Embassy attestation. A non-ACRO police certificate can still be stamped however unlike ACRO it will require attestation from the solicitor before it can be stamped by the FCO and Vietnam embassy.
Therefore, please select the service which includes solicitor, FCO and embassy for non-ACRO police certificates
