    Thank you for your great service!

    ★★★★★
    I am very impressed with the fast and professional service I received from LSC Canada. I needed to notarize and obtain an Apostille for the POA document to be used in Serbia. And even though I live in Vancouver, and the LSC Canada is headquartered in Ottawa, the phone and email correspondence was excellent and enabled me to obtain the Apostille much faster than if I tried to do it myself. Their efficient service saved me weeks of wait time. I highly recommend Adil and his team at LSC for all your document notarization, authentication, and Apostille needs. Thank you for your great service!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What Should I Do if My Documents for Use Internationally Are Declined?

    If your attempt to authenticate or legalize a document is unsuccessful, we can assist you in resolving any issues that may occur. Sometimes, a refusal from the Vietnamese embassy is due to missing stamps or translations that do not comply with the requirements. We will resolve these concerns shortly. After completing the necessary corrections, we evaluate whether or not the document has been appropriately validated by Global Affairs Canada and attested by the embassy. 

    From the initial inspection to the very last attestation of your documents, we maintain efficiency throughout the entire process. The requirements may be changed by either the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Vietnamese Embassy. Despite this, we will keep you updated and make sure that all of your details have been validated appropriately and are prepared to be delivered to their intended location.

    How Should I Prepare My Documents for a Legalization and Authentication Request?

    Make sure that all of the documents you have pertaining to Vietnam are in compliance with all of the standards before you begin any authentication or legalization requests. An example of this would be the provision of a certified translation if it is necessary. Additionally, determine whether or not an endorsement from the Vietnam embassy is required in Canada and verify that each signature is accurate.

    Please confirm that each document must be validated and aligned with the authentication requirements of the Vietnam embassy and Global Affairs Canada to avoid any potential delays. The process can be made more efficient by ensuring that the documentation you have been provided in Canada is in order. 

    What is the Usual Processing Time for the Document Legalization and Authentication Process?

    There is no set time frame. There are instances when the process is finished in a single day by the Vietnamese embassy, while there are other times when it takes several weeks. Global Affairs of Canada must issue an authenticity certificate before the Vietnam embassy or consulate accepts the document for attestation procedures.

    After all of the procedures have been completed, your Vietnamese status has been determined, and the Vietnamese embassy has verified the legitimacy of your documents, they are considered to be completely acceptable in other countries. Attestation of Vietnamese certificates in this manner assures that they are accepted without any problems in all areas of business, education, and other governmental affairs.

    Should I Translate My Document Before It Is Legalized?

    If your document is not written in English or French, you need to get it translated by a professional who has confirmed it. An official transcript or diploma that has been translated and sealed from any Canadian source must first be recognized by Global Affairs Canada and then approved by the Vietnamese Embassy. Verifying language requirements prior to submission can prevent rejections or delays. 

    What Factors Should You Consider When Requesting Authentication and Legalization?

    It is important to determine whether the country of destination, such as Vietnam, is a signatory to the Apostille Convention. If the answer is yes, then an apostille will lessen the burden; if the answer is no, a more complicated legalization process ensues. When conducting diplomatic operations, it is important to verify both your signatures and the legality of Vietnamese credentials.

    Clarity can be achieved by adhering to the standards provided by the Vietnamese Embassy. To ensure there are no unforeseen complications, it is recommended that the documents be checked by both the Vietnamese embassy in Ottawa and the Global Affairs department. If you are in Vietnam, the available nearest Embassy of Canada to Vietnam is located in Hanoi, while the Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City also provides consular services. To effectively legalize your documents, you will need to keep track of the requirements, manage the timelines, and implement the policies.
