The US consulate in HCMC does not authenticate documents. They do however, authenticate your statement that the documents are real. Take your passport, original documents, a photocopy of the original documents, and payment (around 50usd). They use to require USD with clean bills in good condition. Depending on the time you go and how many people are waiting it can take 5min up to 2 hours. You will pay the fee, then show them the documents and sign a statement that the documents are true and real. Then they will stamp and sign it too.
