Vietnam Implements Hague Apostille Convention to Streamline Legalisation of Foreign Public Documents
What changed
The Government of Vietnam has introduced Decree No. 293/2026/ND-CP. This decree guides how the Hague Apostille Convention of 5 October 1961 will work. This rule starts on 11 September 2026. It removes the need for legalisation of foreign public documents. Instead, a simpler apostille process will be used. This change will make it easier to use public documents from countries that have signed the Convention in Vietnam.
