Fees for notarial services are US$50.00 for every United States consular seal affixed; for certification of true copy, US$50.00 for every copy; and for authentication, US$50.00.

Fees are payable in U.S. dollars in cash, or by the following credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. The Embassy does not accept checks or Vietnamese Dong.

In addition, the Embassy can only accept dollars in good condition. Notes that are taped, washed, torn, damaged, or have excessive marks or blemishes will not be accepted.

Documents of other citizens that are to be used in the United States may also be notarized. For notarization, you are requested to bring your passport or other ID card for identification purposes.

Please note that commercial documents of U.S. origin for use in Vietnam cannot be notarized at the Consular Section of the Embassy and must go through the authentication process in the United States. The U.S. Citizen Services Unit provides a handout on the procedures required for authentication.
