Consular Legalization Procedure for Dutch Diplomas for Use in Vietnam
For a diploma issued by a school or authorized institution in the Netherlands to be legally recognized in Vietnam, individuals who intend to study, work, or carry out legal procedures must undergo consular legalization in accordance with regulations. The basic procedure includes the following steps:
Step 1: Contact the Issuing Authority in the Netherlands
First, you need to identify the authority responsible for legalizing the diploma. Typically, students will contact the Education Executive Agency (DUO) for guidance. For diplomas related to the medical field, the authority usually falls under CIBG.
Step 2: Certification at the Consular Services Center (CDC) – Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
After being certified by the school or relevant authority, the diploma must be taken to the CDC in The Hague for legalization. Note that the CDC only processes documents issued in the Netherlands.
Step 3: Consular Legalization at the Vietnamese Representative Office in the Netherlands
Next, bring the diploma with the CDC legalization stamp to the Embassy or Consulate of Vietnam in the Netherlands to obtain consular legalization certification. This is the final procedure for the diploma to be legally recognized in Vietnam.
Step 4: Translate and Certify the Translation
If the Vietnamese authorities require the documents in Vietnamese, you need to translate the diploma into Vietnamese. The translation must be done by a sworn translator and certified by an authorized agency in the Netherlands. Then, the translation should undergo consular legalization in the same manner as the original diploma, at the CDC and the Vietnamese representative office.
Important Information to Note:
- Documents that have been legalized in the Netherlands are valid throughout the Kingdom of the Netherlands (including Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba, and Sint Eustatius).
- However, to be used in Vietnam, the diploma still must undergo consular legalization at the Embassy or Consulate of Vietnam in the Netherlands.

Consular Legalization Procedure for Vietnamese Diplomas for Use in the Netherlands
For a diploma issued by an educational institution in Vietnam to be recognized and legally used in the Netherlands, individuals who intend to study, work, or settle there must undergo consular legalization in accordance with regulations. The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Prepare the original documents
The original diploma, still legally valid, must include all signatures and official seals from the educational institution or authorized authority. If the diploma comes with transcripts or related appendices, submit them in full to avoid omissions.
Step 2: Translate the Diploma
Since the diploma is issued in Vietnamese, when submitting it in the Netherlands, it usually needs to be translated into one of the following languages: Dutch or English. Applicants can have the notarized translation done in Vietnam before submitting it for legalization.
Step 3: Certification at the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Submit the original diploma along with the translation (if available) to the Consular Department or the authorized Foreign Affairs Office of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs for consular legalization certification. Once stamped, the diploma and its translation will have legal validity for use abroad.
Step 4: Confirmation at the Dutch Representative Office in Vietnam
After being legalized by the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the diploma must be further confirmed at the Embassy or Consulate of the Netherlands in Vietnam. This is the final step for the Vietnamese diploma to be legally recognized in the Netherlands.
Important Note:
- The consular legalization procedure only verifies the authenticity of the signatures and seals on the diploma; it does not assess the content or quality of the degree.
- In the Netherlands, competent authorities such as universities, the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), or receiving organizations may conduct additional checks on the diploma’s validity.
- The validity period of the diploma or legalization stamp may vary depending on the requirements of each authority in the Netherlands, so it is important to verify before submitting the documents.
