According to Clause 1, Article 68 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP regulating re-issuance of enterprise registration certificate and certificate of changes to enterprise registration information, in which:

1. In case an enterprise wishes to have its enterprise registration certificate, certificate of changes to enterprise registration information, certificate of branch/representative office registration, certificate of changes to branch/representative office registration information re-issued because it is lost, burned, damaged or otherwise destroyed, it shall send an application for re-issuance to the Business Registration Office of province where it is headquartered. The Business Registration Office shall consider re-issuing the certificate within 03 working days from the receipt of the enterprise’s request.

Thus, in case you lose the certificate of branch registration, please send a document to the Business Registration Office where the enterprise is headquartered to request a reissue in Vietnam.

Do I need to notarize business registration letter of attorney in Vietnam?

I would like to ask, does a letter of attorney for another individual to carry out business registration procedures need to be notarized?

Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 12 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP regulating authorization to carry out business registration procedures as follows:

The person competent to sign the application form for enterprise registration may authorize another entity to follow enterprise registration procedures according to the following provisions:

1. If an individual is authorized, the application for enterprise registration must include the letter of attorney and copies of legal documents of the authorized individual. The notarization or certification of the letter of attorney is not compulsory.

Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, when authorizing an individual to carry out business registration procedures, this authorization document is not required to be notarized or authenticated.

In addition to authorizing individuals and organizations to carry out business registration in Vietnam, can any other units be authorized?

Article 12 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP has regulations on authorization to follow enterprise registration procedures:

The person competent to sign the application form for enterprise registration may authorize another entity to follow enterprise registration procedures according to the following provisions:

1. If an individual is authorized, the application for enterprise registration must include the letter of attorney and copies of legal documents of the authorized individual. The notarization or certification of the letter of attorney is not compulsory.

2. If an organization is authorized, the application for enterprise registration must include the copy of the service contract signed with the enterprise registration service provider, the letter of introduction and legal documents of the person introduced to directly follow enterprise registration procedures.

3. If a public postal service provider is authorized, the postal worker shall submit the copy of application receipt which is made according to the form stipulated by the public postal service provider and bears the signatures of the postal worker and the person competent to sign the application form for enterprise registration.

4. If a postal service provider that does not provide public postal services is authorized, such authorization shall follow Clause 2 of this Article.

Thus, according to regulations in Vietnam, in addition to authorizing individuals and organizations to carry out business registration procedures, they can authorize public postal service providers to carry out this procedure. In case of authorizing a postal service provider other than public postal service, the authorization shall be carried out as in the case of authorizing an implementation organization.
