1. Only the Judicial Academy of the Ministry of Justice trains notary professions in Vietnam?
Based on Article 7 of Circular 01/2021/TT-BTP, which stipulates the training institution for notary professions, and the framework training program for notary professions as follows:
The training institution for notary professions as stipulated in Article 9 of the Notary Law is the Judicial Academy under the Ministry of Justice.
The Judicial Academy presides and cooperates with the Department of Legal Support to develop and submit the framework training program for notary professions to the Minister of Justice for issuance.
Thus, in Vietnam, the institution for training notary professions is the Judicial Academy under the Ministry of Justice.

According to Article 9 of Circular 01/2021/TT-BTP, which stipulates the registration to participate in the refresher course for notary professions as follows:
1. Those who are exempt from notary profession training as stipulated in clause 1, Article 10 of the Notary Law, shall submit directly or send via postal system 01 dossier for registration to participate in the refresher course for notary professions to the Judicial Academy.
