Quick answer

The Norwegian Embassy in Hanoi issues passports (€1,290 from age 16, usually 2–3 weeks), emergency passports and first passports for children, always by appointment; the Honorary Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City handles emergency passports and legalisation. Since 11 September 2026, Vietnamese documents for Norway need an apostille instead of Embassy legalisation.
