Apostille for Inheritance and Entitlement Claims in Vietnam (from Texas)
If you are an overseas Vietnamese (Viet Kieu) living in Texas and a relative in Vietnam has passed away, you may be entitled to an inheritance, a benefit, or a share of an estate. To claim it, US documents such as a death certificate, birth certificate, or marriage certificate usually have to be authenticated for use in Vietnam and translated into Vietnamese. This page explains how the process works from Texas and what changes in September 2026.
