Regarding this issue, the Government Electronic Information Portal quoted the answer of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as follows:
Clause 3, Article 41 of the Law on Cultural Heritage 2024 stipulates that provincial-level cultural specialized agencies, public museums that meet the conditions specified in Clause 2 of this Article or business establishments that appraise relics and antiques specified in Clause 1, Article 79 of this Law are allowed to appraise relics and antiques...
Clause 1, Article 43 of the Law on Cultural Heritage 2024 stipulates that the State encourages organizations and individuals to register relics and antiques of common and separate ownership with the professional cultural agency at the provincial level in the area where the organization or individual's activities are registered.
Therefore, individuals and organizations need to contact the specialized cultural agency at the provincial level in the area where the organization's activities are registered, the individual's residence to register relics and antiques.
At the same time, contact a provincial cultural expert agency, a public museum or a business establishment that appraises relics and antiques that have been licensed in the area to request appraisal of relics and antiques according to regulations.
