Passport translation and notarization is a procedure often required when individuals use foreign passports or identification documents in a foreign language in Vietnam. A certified translation provides authorities and organizations with a basis for verifying information and accepting documents according to their requirements.
Depending on the purpose of use, clients may need to translate a passport into Vietnamese, notarize the translation, or certify a copy of the passport. Therefore, identifying the correct type of document required can help save time and costs.
What Is Passport Translation and Notarization?
Passport translation is the process of translating information shown in a foreign language into Vietnamese or another requested language. The translated content usually includes the full name, nationality, date of birth, passport number, and other relevant information.
After completion, the translation may undergo certification of the translator’s signature or another appropriate certification procedure, depending on the requirements of the receiving authority.
In some cases, clients may also be required to provide a certified copy of the passport. This is different from passport translation notarization and should be clearly distinguished.
When Is Passport Translation and Notarization Required?
A foreign passport may need to be translated into Vietnamese when it is used for administrative procedures, legal documents, or transactions in Vietnam.
Common cases include:
-
Applying for a work permit.
-
Preparing an application for a temporary residence card.
-
Completing business registration or investment procedures.
-
Preparing documents for a marriage involving foreign elements.
-
Preparing study abroad, visa, or immigration applications.
-
Completing procedures related to banking, real estate, or assets.

However, not every application requires passport translation and notarization. Requirements may vary depending on the authority, organization, and purpose of use.
Required Documents

In particular, all passport information should be clearly visible. Passports that are blurred, damaged, or contain unreadable information may need to be checked before translation.
