Consular services for Mongolia citizens
The embassy website blocks automated access, so we relied on the Mongolian foreign ministry’s consular portal (consul.mn). It describes these services in Mongolia’s consular system:
- apostilles for Mongolian documents used in Convention countries;
- consular certification for documents used in non-apostille countries, including official translations;
- certification of powers of attorney;
- citizen petitions and a citizen assistance fund (e.g. repatriation of remains).
Which services (passports, civil registration, etc.) are handled at the Hanoi embassy itself should be confirmed with the embassy.
What to know before you go
- Call or message through an official channel before going: consular reception hours may be shorter than office hours and change over time.
- Bring your passport (or a copy plus the police loss report), your Vietnamese visa or residence card and copies of all relevant papers.
- The mission closes on Vietnamese public holidays and on Mongolia’s holidays; religious holidays shift from year to year.
- Diplomatic compounds and office towers run security checks at the gate – travel light and carry ID.
- Google Maps shows two locations for the embassy (44/6 Van Bao and 5 Van Phuc), close to each other; call ahead to find out which gate to use rather than circling the diplomatic compound.
- Because the closing times on the two pins differ, go in the morning to be safe.
- Visitors describe the receptionist and consular staff as helpful – explain your matter at reception and you will be directed to the consular section.
Common reasons foreigners contact the embassy
Lost or stolen passport. Report it to the police where it happened and get a written confirmation; take it to Mongolia’s mission to apply for an emergency travel document or a new passport. Your Vietnamese visa went with the old passport, so next you need a new visa or an exit permit from the Immigration Department – see exit procedures.
Passport about to expire. Renew it, then transfer your visa or temporary residence card to the new passport; otherwise your residence status is tied to a document you no longer use.
Papers for marriage, birth registration or a work permit. Vietnamese authorities usually want a certificate of marital status, birth certificate, criminal record or diploma, legalised and with a notarised translation.
Signature certification, powers of attorney, citizen or voter registration. Many people need a signature certified on a power of attorney for use at home, or register with the mission so they can be reached in an emergency.
A visa extension or a Vietnam e-visa, on the other hand, is handled by Vietnam, not by the mission.
Help with Mongolia passport applications in Vietnam
We could not confirm from an official source that Mongolia’s mission in Vietnam accepts new or renewal passport applications locally. Some countries only issue emergency travel documents abroad, while ordinary passports are made at home or at another mission in the region. Ask the mission directly before you plan.
Where passports are issued, applicants normally attend in person for photos and biometrics. Info Travel helps within what the mission permits: checking requirements and booking, forms, photos, translating Vietnamese documents and directions. On the Vietnamese side we handle everything: extending your stay while you wait, transferring your visa or temporary residence card to the new passport, a new visa or exit procedures if you travel on an emergency document.
Consular legalisation, certification (MOFA / HCMC External Relations stamps) and notarised translation
Vietnam acceded to the Apostille Convention on 31 December 2025 and it has applied to Vietnam since 11 September 2026. Mongolia is also a party and is not among the states that objected to Vietnam’s accession (HCCH status table), so between the two countries an apostille can replace consular legalisation. Background: apostille vs consular legalisation.
a) Mongolia documents for use in Vietnam: obtain an apostille from Mongolia’s competent authority, then a Vietnamese notarised translation. If the receiving authority still asks for the traditional route: certification by Mongolia’s competent authority plus legalisation at the Vietnamese mission in Mongolia, or certification by Mongolia’s mission in Vietnam (if offered) followed by legalisation at the Consular Department (MOFA, Hanoi) or the HCMC Department of External Relations – unless exempted under an international treaty.
b) Vietnamese documents for use in Mongolia: obtain an apostille from the competent Vietnamese authority, with a translation. If Mongolia still requires legalisation: consular certification at the Consular Department or HCMC External Relations, then legalisation at Mongolia’s mission (ask first whether it accepts them).
Apostilles for Mongolian documents are issued by Mongolia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Consular Department, Ulaanbaatar); people in Vietnam often ask relatives at home to obtain them and post the documents.
Info Travel handles the whole chain: translation, notarisation, MOFA/External Relations stamps (or apostille), and submission and collection at the mission. See our consular legalisation service; quotes on WhatsApp +84327828822.
