In which cases will a Notary Card be reissued?

In Section 2, Article 36 of the Notarization Law 2014, it is stipulated:

Notaries shall be re-issued with Notary Cards in cases where the issued Cards are lost or damaged.

Notary Cards shall be revoked in cases where notaries are dismissed or have their practice registration cancelled.

=> Thus, notary cards will be re-issued when they are lost or damaged. The re-issuance procedure is stipulated in Article 6 of Circular 01/2021/TT-BTP, as follows:

- Notaries requesting to be re-issued a Notary Card as stipulated in Clause 2, Article 36 of the Notarization Law shall directly submit or send via postal system one set of dossier to the Department of Justice where they are registered to practice. The dossier includes the following documents:

+ Application for re-issuance of Notary Card (Form TP-CC-07);

+ 01 portrait photo 2cm x 3cm (taken no more than 06 months before the date of submission);

+ The current Notary Card (in the case of a damaged Card).

- Within 05 working days from the date of receipt of a valid dossier, the Department of Justice shall re-issue the Notary Card to the notary; in case of refusal, a written notice clearly stating the reason must be given.

- The re-issued Notary Card retains the same number as the previously issued Card.

Sincerely.
