Procedures for Consular Legalization of Dutch Powers of Attorney for Use in Vietnam
For a power of attorney issued in the Netherlands to be legally recognized and used in Vietnam, the applicant must follow the consular legalization process according to regulations. The specific steps include:
Step 1: Signature Authentication and Notarization in the Netherlands
The grantor must ensure that the signature on the power of attorney is legally notarized. Afterwards, the document must be verified and legalized by a Dutch court.
In certain special cases, local authorities may also have the authority to authenticate the signature on the power of attorney. Therefore, it is important to check in advance with the receiving authority in Vietnam to confirm which form of authentication is accepted.
Step 2: Apply for Legalization at the Consular Service Center (CDC) in The Hague
Next, take the notarized power of attorney to the CDC in The Hague to obtain the legalization stamp.
Note: The CDC only processes legalization for documents issued in the Netherlands. Additionally, before proceeding, it is advisable to contact the foreign diplomatic mission in the Netherlands (if further use is required) to determine whether additional legalization is needed.

Step 3: Certification and Legalization at the Vietnamese Embassy/Consulate in the Netherlands
After being certified by the CDC, the power of attorney must be further legalized at the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in the Netherlands. This is the final step to ensure the power of attorney is legally valid and can be used in Vietnam.
Step 4: Translation and notarization of the translated document (if needed)
If the authority in Vietnam requires the power of attorney to be submitted in Vietnamese, the document must be translated into Vietnamese by a certified translator. The translation must then be notarized and can undergo the same legalization process as the original document.

Consular Legalization Procedures for Vietnamese Powers of Attorney for Use in the Netherlands
To ensure a power of attorney issued in Vietnam is legally recognized for use in the Netherlands, the individuals or organizations involved must follow the consular legalization process according to regulations. The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Prepare the Documents
The original power of attorney must be valid and include all necessary signatures and seals from the grantor, the authorized person (if applicable), and the notarizing authority in Vietnam. If the power of attorney includes annexes or supplementary documents, these must also be prepared for submission.
Step 2: Translate the Power of Attorney
Since the power of attorney is drafted in Vietnamese, to submit it in the Netherlands it must be translated into Dutch or English. The translation must be carried out by a qualified translator, preferably with notarization, to ensure legal validity. Translation and notarization can be completed in Vietnam before submitting for legalization.

Step 3: Certification at the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Submit the original power of attorney along with the translation (if any) to the Consular Department – Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam or an authorized Department of Foreign Affairs to obtain the consular legalization stamp. Once certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the document is valid for use abroad.
Step 4: Authentication at the Dutch Representative Office in Vietnam
Next, take the power of attorney with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ legalization stamp to the Embassy or Consulate of the Netherlands in Vietnam for authentication. This is the final step to ensure the Vietnamese power of attorney is legally recognized in the Netherlands.
Note:
- Consular legalization only certifies the authenticity of signatures and seals; it does not verify the content of the power of attorney.
- The validity period of the power of attorney or the legalization stamp may vary depending on the regulations of the receiving authority in the Netherlands. Therefore, it is necessary to check the specific requirements in advance to prepare the documents accordingly.
