Certified + Notarized Translation

Furthermore, a translation has to be notarized before submitting it for consular authentication (applied to non-Hague Apostille countries such as Canada, Vietnam, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, etc.) to be able to use it overseas. Some Schengen visa countries may require notarized translation of documents for Schengen visa application process. It’s best to have all your paperwork in order to expedite your Schengen visa processing time.

Certified contract translation is within the legal translation field. It plays a vital role in promoting global trade, connecting relevant parties, and ensuring understanding and compliance with contract terms.

Below are the challenges of certified translation of legal documents:

• Extensive knowledge of legal documents
• Advanced legal writing skills
• Subjectivity in legal translation
• Information privacy

For example, the United States is party to the the 1961 Hague Convention; therefore, if your documents are issued by the United States government, you can request an apostille and they will be legally valid for use in other countries that are also members of the Hague Convention. There’s no need to get consular authentication. Note that the United States Department of State only issues apostille for federal documents.

Since Vietnam is not a party to this Convention, Consular Authentication is necessary for foreign documents to be used in Vietnam and Vietnamese documents to be used in another country (Check out Where to legalize documents in Vietnam and our expert guide to Vietnam Legalization Fees). Some documents may be eligible for legalization exemption in Vietnam. However, you also need to pay attention to the Consular Legalization validity period to make sure your documents are all in order.

In most cases, passports are issued in two languages: English and the language of the issuing country. Therefore, for standard procedures, foreigners do not need to translate and certify their passports.

However, for important procedures, such as when applying for a work permit for foreigners, getting married, or applying for a business license for a branch of a foreign company in non-English speaking countries, it is important that the passport be translated and certified.

The process of setting up a business in Vietnam can vary based on your chosen business model (There are different types of companies in Vietnam for you to choose from).

Basically, you’ll need to decide on a type of enterprise for your business, obtain the Investment Registration Certificate, register your business with the local authority to receive the Enterprise Registration Certificate, and then obtain the appropriate business license for your business line (industry).

In addition to the process of Vietnam company formation itself, there are also other essential aspects to consider, such as the cost of starting a business and local regulations including investment law, commercial law, and business law.
