Processing of Visas and Legalization of Documents 

Documents that will be used in Vietnam have to be legalized at the consular section of the embassy In Washington DC (WDC). We undertake document authentication on behalf of the client, significantly reducing the turnaround time and making the entire process fast, efficient and effortless. Having dealt with hundreds of authentication cases we use our experience to review the requirements for each document. We have established a solid working relationship with many foreign embassies and government offices located in Washington, DC. We have developed a reputation of reliability, professionalism and personal attention.

A.  General and business documents (Diplomas, college transcripts, local or state police background checks, corporate letters, etc.)

The procedure to legalized documents is as follows:

  1. The document is received by Roca Authentications LLC in Washington, DC (WDC).
  2. A public notary notarizes the document. *
  3. The secretary of the state certifies the document. *
  4. The US Department of State (USDOS) in WDC authenticates document.
  5. The Vietnamese Embassy legalizes the document.

*Steps 2 and 3 may be done in the state in which the document was issued.  It is faster and more economical to have Roca Authentications LLC complete these steps in WDC.

B.  Personal Documents (vital records)

All personal documents, birth, death, marriage, divorce certificates, divorce decrees, etc. must be verified by the respective secretary of state in which they were issued.

The procedure to legalize personal documents is as follows:
