Apostille Countries List – Hague Convention Members

Update: Vietnam has officially joined the Hague Apostille Convention

As of September 11, 2026, Canadian public documents, such as corporate certificates, diplomas, and background checks, bearing a valid Apostille no longer require the traditional, multi-step consular legalization by a Vietnamese embassy or consulate. Please note that because Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic filed formal objections to Vietnam’s accession, the standard consular legalization process remains mandatory for documents moving between Vietnam and these three specific nations. For all other participating countries, this development significantly reduces processing times and administrative hurdles for international document recognition.
