Visa Applications
Many visa categories require notarised copies of supporting documents — passport pages, civil status certificates, financial statements, and sponsorship letters.
Notarization services
Notarisation coordination for visa applications, legal processes, and official submissions across Vietnam.
We coordinate notarisation of documents needed for visa applications, embassy submissions, legal proceedings, and official government filings — with licensed notaries across Vietnam to ensure your documents are properly attested.
Document preparation support — not legal advice
We coordinate notarisation so your documents meet official requirements.
NamVisa coordinates notarisation services for your documents through licensed notaries. We do not provide notary services directly, issue visas, represent embassies, or provide legal advice. Our role is to help you get the right type of notarisation for your specific submission requirements.
Important: NamVisa coordinates notarisation services with licensed notaries. We do not act as notaries ourselves, provide legal advice, issue visas, or represent any embassy, consulate, or government authority. The notary independently verifies identity, witnesses signatures, or certifies copies according to applicable law.
Types of notarisation
Common notarisation types we coordinate.
📄
Certified Copy
Notarised certification that a copy of a document — passport, birth certificate, diploma, or other original — is a true and accurate reproduction of the original. The most common type of notarisation for visa applications.
✍️
Signature Witnessing
Notarisation of a signature on a document, confirming that the signatory appeared before the notary, presented valid identification, and signed voluntarily. Required for powers of attorney, affidavits, and consent letters.
⚖️
Sworn Affidavits & Declarations
Notarisation of sworn statements and declarations where the signatory makes a formal statement under oath or affirmation before the notary. Used in legal proceedings and certain visa sponsorship cases.
🏛️
Embassy Notarisation
Coordination with embassy notaries where documents need to be notarised for use at a specific foreign embassy or consulate in Vietnam — often required when standard Vietnamese notarisation is not accepted by the receiving authority.
When notarisation is needed
Typical situations that require notarised documents.
Immigration Submissions
U.S. immigrant visa applications, family reunification petitions, and other immigration filings often require notarised signatures and certified copies of supporting documents.
Legal Proceedings
Powers of attorney, affidavits, consent declarations, and other legal documents that need notarisation before they can be accepted by courts, government agencies, or foreign authorities.
Official Submissions
Document submissions to embassies, consulates, visa application centres, and Vietnamese government offices that require notarised copies and attested signatures as part of their filing requirements.
How it works
From document review to notarised output.
1. Tell us what you need
Share the document, the type of notarisation required (certified copy, signature witnessing, etc.), and the authority or embassy it is destined for.
2. Confirm the format
We confirm the correct notarisation type based on the receiving authority's requirements — different embassies and government offices have specific notarisation format expectations.
3. Notary coordination
We coordinate with a licensed notary who will verify the document, witness any required signatures, and affix the notarial certificate, seal, and date.
4. Delivery
You receive the notarised document, ready for submission. If the document also needs translation or legalisation, we can coordinate the full chain of services.

FAQ
Common questions about notarisation services.
A certified copy is a reproduction of an original document that has been verified as a true copy by a notary. The notary compares the copy against the original and certifies it. This is distinct from signature witnessing, where the notary confirms the identity of a person signing a document. Many visa applications require certified copies of supporting documents.
Simple notarisation — such as a certified copy of a passport — can often be arranged within a business day. More complex notarisation types, such as sworn affidavits or embassy notarisation, may take longer depending on availability and the specific requirements.
Yes. We can coordinate the full document preparation chain — certified translation, notarisation, and embassy or consular legalisation — so your documents are fully submission-ready. This is common for documents that need to be used outside Vietnam or at foreign embassies within Vietnam.
You typically need to present valid government-issued photo identification — such as a passport, national ID card, or driver's licence — before the notary can witness a signature or certify a copy. The exact requirements depend on the notary and the type of notarisation.
Yes. Vietnamese notarised documents can often be used abroad, and the notarisation can be followed by embassy legalisation or apostille if required by the destination country. We confirm the specific chain of attestation based on where the document will be submitted.
No. Notarisation is the first step — a notary certifies the document or signature. Legalisation or apostille is a separate step where a higher authority (such as the Vietnamese Department of Foreign Affairs or an embassy) verifies the notary's signature for international use. We can coordinate both steps if needed.
