Certified Document Translation in Vietnam

Why document translation matters in Vietnam

Vietnam’s rapid economic growth, expanding foreign investment, and strengthening international relations have made accurate document translation an indispensable service for individuals and businesses alike. As a member of ASEAN and signatory to numerous bilateral and multilateral agreements, Vietnam enforces complex legal and administrative requirements across central and local government bodies—including the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Department of Taxation, and provincial People’s Committees. Whether you are applying for business registration in Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Planning and Investment, securing a work permit through the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, or obtaining academic recognition at Vietnam National University, even minor translation errors can cause delays, fines, or application rejections. Additionally, Vietnam’s multilingual environment—where Vietnamese is the official language, but English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and French are commonly used in legal, technical, and medical contexts—amplifies the need for professional translators who not only possess linguistic fluency but also understand local regulatory norms and industry-specific terminology. At VelesClub Int., we recognize that precision in translation is not simply about converting words; it is about ensuring that your documents meet the exacting standards of each Vietnamese authority and are fully compliant with current laws and decrees.

When and where translations are required

Certified translation services are required across a broad spectrum of applications in Vietnam. Foreign nationals seeking temporary resident cards, work permits, or investment certificates must translate passports, criminal background checks, employment contracts, and financial statements for submission to the Immigration Department under the Ministry of Public Security. Entrepreneurs registering a joint-stock company or a limited liability company with the Department of Planning and Investment need accurate translations of company charters, shareholder agreements, and audited financial reports. Real estate transactions recorded at provincial Land Registration Offices demand certified translations of sale-purchase agreements, land use right certificates (“red books”), and power-of-attorney documents. Academic institutions—such as the Vietnam National University, Hanoi University, and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology—require translations of diplomas, transcripts, course descriptions, and evaluation reports for admissions, accreditation, and professional certification. Healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies must submit precise translations of clinical trial protocols, patient informed consent forms, drug registration dossiers, and medical device documentation to the Ministry of Health’s Drug Administration of Vietnam. Additionally, logistics and manufacturing firms exporting goods from major ports like Hai Phong and Da Nang require translations of bills of lading, customs declarations, and inspection certificates to comply with both Vietnamese Customs law and international trade regulations. Our services cover sworn translations, notarization by local notaries, apostille procedures via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and embassy legalization for complete global recognition.

Local regulations and document requirements

Vietnamese law prescribes stringent standards for accepting foreign-language documents. Certified translations must include a translator’s statement certifying completeness and accuracy, notarized by a Vietnamese public notary (Công chứng viên) or by the Ministry of Justice. Documents intended for use abroad under the Hague Apostille Convention require an apostille issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hanoi. For countries not party to the Apostille Convention, an additional step of embassy or consulate legalization is necessary. Formatting requirements differ by authority: the Ministry of Justice mandates double-sided A4 prints with original pagination and official seals; provincial People’s Committees often require letter-size single-sided copies with color scans of stamps; the Ministry of Health insists on preserving graphic elements, such as drug registration stamps and testing lab certificates. At VelesClub Int., we maintain a continuously updated internal database of agency-specific guidelines—from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, Can Tho, and beyond—collaborate directly with notaries, consular services, and government clerks, and prepare comprehensive translation certificates and cover letters designed to eliminate procedural errors and expedite approvals.

Our translation process and quality control

Our structured workflow at VelesClub Int. is engineered to deliver superior quality, full compliance, and rapid turnaround. Once you submit your documents—via our secure online portal or in person at our offices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Da Nang—our project managers conduct an initial consultation to confirm document types, target authorities, and any special certification requirements. We then assign your materials to professional translators who hold credentials from the American Translators Association (ATA) or equivalent bodies, as well as accreditation from the Vietnam Ministry of Justice for sworn translation (“dịch viên có thẩm quyền”). Each translation undergoes a multi-layered review: a secondary linguist performs a line-by-line accuracy check; a specialized editor verifies that terminology aligns with current Vietnamese statutes, technical standards, or medical protocols; and, if notarization is required, our in-house translator appears before a public notary to formalize the sworn statement. For apostille and embassy legalization, our dedicated legalization team submits documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, tracks processing progress in real time, and arranges secure courier delivery to embassies or consulates. Clients receive draft translations through a private, encrypted portal, where they can annotate, request revisions, and approve final versions. We provide clear milestone updates at each stage—translation, review, notarization, apostille, and dispatch—and offer rush services with guaranteed 24- to 48-hour turnaround without compromising our ISO 17100-aligned quality management and stringent data security measures compliant with GDPR and Vietnam’s Personal Data Protection Decree.
