The consular legalization of Vietnamese documents for use in Iceland is a process that must go through several steps, from notarized translation to certification at consular authorities. Below are the detailed steps to help you complete this procedure quickly and accurately.
Step 1: Notarized Translation
First, you need to translate the documents from Vietnamese into English (or Icelandic) at reputable translation offices. After translation, the documents must be notarized at a notary office or the Department of Justice.

- Consular Department (Hanoi): 40 Tran Phu, Ba Dinh, Hanoi.
- Ho Chi Minh City Department of Foreign Affairs: 6 Alexandre de Rhodes, Ben Nghe, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
