Can I sub-authorize to a third person verbally in Vietnam?
I recently signed an authorization contract to make notarized books in Vietnam, but because I am busy with my own business, can I sub-authorize to a third person to do it but verbally?
Pursuant to Article 564 of the Civil Code 2015 provides as follows:
Sub-authorization
1. An attorney may only sub-authorize its authorization to a third person in any of the following cases:
a) With the consent of the principal;
b) Due to force majeure events that if the sub-authorization does not apply, the purposes of entering into a civil transaction for the interests of the principal is unachievable.
2. A sub-authorization shall not exceed the scope of the original authorization.
3. The formalities of the sub-authorization contract must conform to the formalities of the original authorization contract.
Thus, you are reauthorized to another person with the consent of the principal and the form of the sub-authorization contract must be consistent with the original form of authorization in Vietnam. Therefore, it is best to re-authorize in writing the same form as the original authorization in order to avoid the risks arising later.
Best Regards!
