The Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Notarization, including 3 Articles, officially takes effect from January 1, 2027.
The law has amended regulations on transactions that must be notarized in order to narrow the scope of these transactions.
In which, amending Clause 1, Article 3 in the direction of not listing transactions that must be notarized in the Law on Notarization but only specifying more clearly the criteria for determining transactions that must be notarized (supplementing the criterion "requiring strict transaction participation conditions", removing the phrase "or the law assigns the Government to regulate").
Such regulations both help narrow the scope of transactions that must be notarized and clarify the mandatory criteria for transactions that must be notarized without being duplicated or conflicting with relevant laws.
The Law also amends a number of regulations on notarization procedures and notarized dossiers in the direction of simplifying and thoroughly grasping the principles of data exploitation and use in the process of submitting dossiers and resolving notarization requests, but still ensuring the basic principles of the content notarization model (from clauses 11 to 15 and clause 17 of Article 1 of the Law).
The Law amends Clause 3, Article 68 of the Law on Notarization in 2024 in the direction of allowing the provision of original notarized documents to procedural agencies to carry out verification and appraisal of documents serving procedural proceedings.
At the same time, there are regulations to ensure that the original notarized document is strictly preserved, fully handed over and does not greatly affect the legitimate rights of the notary requester in requesting the issuance of copies or amendments, supplements, and cancellations of notarized documents.
