Is it necessary to notarize student records in Vietnam?
A student record is one of the indispensable documents in student enrollment applications when enrolling in universities for the academic year 2024-2025.
Currently, the law does not stipulate that student records must be notarized, which also means it is not mandatory. However, the records often include a certification section by the local authority where the household registration is located. According to Article 15 of Circular 01/2020/TT-BTP, a record declaration is eligible for signature authentication.
*Note: If there is a requirement for certification, the individual requesting certification is responsible for the entire content within the personal profile declaration. For sections not filled out in the personal profile declaration, a cross mark should be made before requesting certification.
Thus, student records are not required to be notarized. They should not be referred to as official but rather as certified student résumés.
