Marriage Certificate Apostille for Vietnam
Korean marriage certificates for use in Vietnam now take a standard Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) apostille. Viet Nam's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention entered into force on 11 September 2026, so the old OKA authentication plus Vietnamese Embassy legalization chain is no longer the normal route. This is used for spousal visa applications, civil registration, and inheritance proceedings involving a Korean-Vietnamese couple. Because the change is recent, confirm with the Vietnamese receiving authority whether it also needs a certified Vietnamese translation or other formalities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need embassy legalization for a Korean marriage certificate in Vietnam?
No longer as the standard route. Vietnam now applies the Hague Apostille Convention with Korea, so a Korean marriage certificate takes an OKA apostille instead of OKA authentication plus Vietnamese Embassy legalization. Check with the receiving authority for translation requirements.
