The correction of technical errors in notarized documents is stipulated in Clause 2, Article 50 of the 2014 Notarization Law. Specifically:

- The correction of technical errors in notarized documents is performed at the notarization practice organization that conducted the notarization.

- In case the notarization practice organization that carried out the notarization ceases to operate, transforms, transfers, or dissolves, the notarization practice organization holding the notarization records will carry out the technical error correction.

- The notary responsible for correcting the technical errors must compare each error to be corrected with the documents in the notarization file, underline the part to be corrected, and then record the corrected words, signs, or numbers in the margin, accompanied by his/her signature and the seal of the notarization practice organization. The notary is responsible for notifying the parties involved in the contract or transaction of the correction of these technical errors.

Thus, when there are errors or technical errors in the notarized document, they can be corrected if the mistakes in the document do not affect the rights and obligations of the parties involved in the transaction contract.
