A notarised Vietnamese translation is what Vietnamese offices usually ask for when you hand them a UK document: a translation into Vietnamese, certified by a Vietnamese Public Notary. We arrange it from the UK. You upload a scan of your birth, marriage, divorce or police certificate, it is translated into Vietnamese in Vietnam, and you choose whether to have it notarised there and whether we should get the UK apostille first.

This is the reverse of our usual work. If you have a Vietnamese document to translate into English for UKVI, that's our standard certified translation instead. More on the UK side of things on our apostille page.

What is a notarised Vietnamese translation?

It is a translation of your document into Vietnamese that a Vietnamese Public Notary has certified. The notarisation is done in Vietnam, which is what Vietnamese offices generally expect to see attached to a foreign document.

In the UK, a translation is usually accepted once the translation company certifies it. Vietnam does things more formally: the translation is checked and certified by a notary office, and the notary's seal is what gives it standing. A British translation company's own certificate, however nicely worded, doesn't do that job.

That's why the translation and notarisation are done in Vietnam rather than by our UK translators. You still get one order, one price and one set of documents that are ready to hand over.

  • A full translation into Vietnamese, including stamps, seals and the apostille page
  • Optional notarisation by a Vietnamese Public Notary
  • Optional UK apostille, arranged before anything goes to Vietnam
  • A PDF by email and a hard copy

Who needs a notarised Vietnamese translation of a UK document?

Anyone using a UK birth, marriage, divorce or police certificate with a Vietnamese authority, for example to register a marriage, a birth, a residence card or a work permit. Most of these documents also need a UK apostille first.

Since Vietnam joined the Apostille Convention, a UK public document with an apostille from the UK Foreign Office (FCDO) no longer needs legalising at the Vietnamese embassy as well. What it still needs is a Vietnamese translation the office can read, and usually a notary's seal on it.

Requirements differ between offices and provinces, so check with the office you're dealing with. Some only want the translation, some want it notarised, and nearly all want the apostille. Order only what they asked for.

  • Marriage registration in Vietnam
  • Birth registration and nationality paperwork for children
  • Temporary or permanent residence cards
  • Work permits and employment files (police certificates)
  • Divorce and remarriage paperwork

How much does a notarised Vietnamese translation cost?

Translation is £24.00 per page, notarisation in Vietnam is £15.00 per document, and the hard copy is £5.00 per order within Vietnam or £45.00 by DHL Express to the UK. A standard certificate counts as one page and its apostille page is translated at no charge, so one apostilled marriage certificate, translated, notarised and delivered in Vietnam, costs £44.00.

Two certificates in one order cost £83.00: two translations and two notarisations, with delivery charged only once because everything goes in the same envelope. The UK apostille, if you need us to arrange it, is priced per document on our apostille checkout and added to the same order.

You see the full total before you pay, and nothing is added afterwards.

  • Translation into Vietnamese: £24.00 per page (a standard certificate is one page)
  • Apostille page translation: included
  • Notarisation in Vietnam: £15.00 per document
  • Hard copy: £5.00 within Vietnam, or £45.00 by DHL Express to the UK

How long does it take?

Usually 3–5 business days, plus delivery. If we're arranging the UK apostille, add the apostille time first.

The translation and notarisation happen in Vietnam, so the timing runs on Vietnamese business days. In some cases the notary may require the original document in Vietnam. We'll let you know before starting if this applies.

There is no rush option for this service at the moment, so leave a little room before your appointment.

How is it delivered?

You get a PDF by email and a hard copy. The hard copy goes by courier to an address in Vietnam, or by DHL Express to an address in the UK. We need the address and, for Vietnam, a phone number the courier can call.

For delivery in Vietnam, give the recipient's full name, the street address, ward and province or city, and a Vietnamese phone number. Most Vietnamese addresses no longer include a district since the 2025 reform, so leave that blank unless yours still uses one.

If you're handing the documents over in person on a trip, DHL to your UK address means you can carry the hard copy with you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Notarised Vietnamese Translation

Which documents can I order online?

UK birth, marriage, divorce and police certificates, up to ten in one order. For any other document, message us on WhatsApp or email and we'll quote.

Can I order just the translation, or just the notarisation?

Yes. Start from translation, notarisation or the UK apostille and add only what the Vietnamese office asked for. Without a translation, a Vietnamese notary certifies a copy of your UK document.

Does my document need an apostille first?

Usually yes. Vietnamese offices generally expect a UK public document to carry an apostille from the UK Foreign Office. If yours doesn't have one yet, add the UK apostille to your order and we arrange it before the translation.

Do I pay for the apostille page to be translated?

No. The apostille page is translated along with your certificate and shows on your quote as included.

Do I need to send the original document?

For the translation and notarisation, normally no: a clear scan is enough. In some cases the notary may require the original document in Vietnam. We'll let you know before starting if this applies. For the UK apostille, the original goes to our partner in London: post it or drop it off, and we give you the address after payment.

Can the hard copy be sent to the UK?

Yes. Choose DHL Express to the UK at checkout and enter your UK address. You also receive the PDF by email.

Is this the same as a Vietnamese to English translation for a UK visa?

No. This service translates UK documents into Vietnamese for use in Vietnam. To translate a Vietnamese document into English for UKVI, order our standard certified translation instead.

Is there a rush option?

Not at the moment. Orders are usually completed in 3 to 5 business days, plus delivery.
