Hello Law Secretary,My name is Nguyen Van Phuoc. I notice that many documents sometimes require notarization, and other times they require authentication, which makes it difficult for me to differentiate. Could you please explain the difference between authentication and notarization?I look forward to receiving support from the Law Secretary.
Decree 23/2015/ND-CP issued by the Government of Vietnam stipulates the issuance of copies from original registers, authentication of copies from originals, authentication of signatures, and authentication of contracts and transactions.
In addition to contracts and documents that are required to be notarized as stipulated in legislative documents such as transfer transactions, gifts, mortgages of land use rights, sale and purchase, gifts of residential houses, etc., which must be notarized and authenticated to have legal validity, the law in Vietnam also regulates types of agreements and contracts related to houses and land that are not required to be notarized or authenticated.
In many cases, most people think that to authenticate a copy, they need to go to the commune People's Committee or to a notarial practice organization. However, they are often unaware that, besides these authorities, there are other authorities in Vietnam that also have the power to authenticate copies.
