Consular legalization

Consular legalization

Prepare documents for their intended use

TanViet helps assess translation needs and prepare documents for consular certification and legalization. The approach depends on where documents were issued, the country of use and the receiving organization's requirements.

Scope of consular legalization

01

Personal documents

Academic and identity documents, and materials for transactions involving foreign parties.

02

Business materials

Licenses, legal entity documents and materials for international cooperation.

03

Translation of related documents

Preparation of translations in the languages and format required for the application.

04

Checking the document process

Clarifying the place of issue, place of use, expected sequence and additional documents needed.

Reviewing and comparing project documents

Distinguish the requirements to prepare the right documents

Consular certification and legalization concern confirming seals, signatures and official titles on documents; they do not assess the documents' content. Requirements may differ by country, document type and intended use.

Before work begins, provide the receiving organization's instructions and information about the issuing authority. Any exemptions, requirements for originals or translations, or prior certification steps will be checked against the procedures applicable at the time of processing.

Deliverables agreed from the outset

Frequently asked questions

Does every document need consular legalization?

A single requirement cannot be applied to every application. The document type, country, intended use and any exemptions must be checked against the applicable rules.

Does consular legalization confirm a document's content?

This procedure confirms seals, signatures and official titles on documents; it does not certify their content or form.

Can same-day completion be guaranteed?

The schedule depends on the documents' status and the processing authority. TanViet confirms an approach only after reviewing the documents and required steps.

What factors determine the quote?

The cost depends on volume, language pair, specialist complexity, formatting and deadline. TanViet reviews documents before confirming a quote; additional items are clearly discussed as part of the scope.
