What is Sweden consular legalization and certification?
When you have documents issued in Sweden and want to use them legally in Vietnam (or vice versa), you will need two important procedures: Consular legalization and Consular certification.
1. Consular Certification (Consular Authentication)
Consular certification is the first step in the Sweden consular legalization process. It verifies the authenticity of the signature, seal, and title of the person who signed the document, with the purpose of:
- Verifying the authenticity of documents issued by competent authorities of Sweden.
- Ensuring that the documents are legally issued and valid.
Depending on the specific type of document, the authority responsible for consular certification may vary.

2. Sweden Consular Legalization (Legalization)
Consular legalization is the next step after a document has been consularly certified. This step verifies the authenticity of the document once more, but this time by the diplomatic mission of the country where the document will be used, with the purpose of:
- Ensuring that the consularly certified document is lawful and recognized in another country.
- Allowing Swedish documents to have legal validity and be used in Vietnam (and vice versa).
Authorities responsible for consular legalization::
- The Embassy or Consulate of Vietnam in Sweden: For Swedish documents to be used in Vietnam.
- The Embassy or Consulate of Sweden in Vietnam: For Vietnamese documents to be used in Sweden.

Step 2: Notarization of documents
If you want to legalize documents that are not originals, such as passports or driver’s licenses, you must have them notarized at sworn notary offices in Sweden.
Documents issued by private organizations (e.g., work experience certificates) also need notarization before consular legalization.
Step 3: Legalization at the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
After notarization, you must legalize the documents at the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This authority will verify and confirm the legality of the documents before legalization.
Step 4: Legalization at the Vietnamese Embassy in Sweden
Once legalized by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you must proceed to legalize the documents at the Vietnamese Embassy in Sweden. The Vietnamese Embassy will perform the final step to certify the documents’ legality for use in Vietnam.
Note::
- Currently, the Swedish Embassy in Hanoi does not have the authority to legalize Swedish documents for use in Vietnam.
