For notarisation services at the Consulate-General, please submit the documents during office hours from Mon – Fri (except public holidays), from 9 am – 11.30 am.

Processing Time: 1 working day to process.
After notarising all these documents, we will issue a letter on your current status. After obtaining this letter and required notarised documents, you need to bring these documents to the Department of External Relations in HCMC for legalisation at 184Bis Pasteur Road, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, HCMC. Tel: +84 28 3822 4224.
Next, you may wish to bring these documents to the Justice Division of People’s Committee of District 1 at 47 Le Duan Street, District 1, HCMC or the relevant Province Justice Department for the translation into Vietnamese before submitting to the District Justice Department together with all the required documents for marriage application.
All marriages contracted or solemnised outside Singapore:
(a) which have been registered in accordance with and are valid under the law of the place in which the marriages were contracted or celebrated; and
(b) to which both parties possess the capacity to marry under the law of their respective countries of domicile, are valid in Singapore. The final arbiter of any dispute as to the validity of such marriages in Singapore is the Court of Law.
Please visit the Registry of Marriages website for other details on marriages. There is no provision in the Women's Charter (Chapter 353) to empower the Registrar of Marriages to re-register a marriage contracted and already registered outside Singapore. Current and former Work Permit holders who wish to marry a Singapore citizen or Singapore permanent resident must seek approval from the Singapore Ministry of Manpower. The registration of marriage between a non-Singaporean and a Singapore citizen or Singapore permanent resident does not automatically accord the non-Singaporean spouse the right of permanent residence in Singapore.
