Question

We are expats living in Vietnam. We have made a modification of a notarized contract, may we notarize the modified contract ? Lawyers in Danang advise about notarization of the modification of a notarized contract in Vietnam ?

Answer

Notarization of the modification of a notarized contract in Danang, Vietnam ?

Notarization of the modification, supplementation or cancellation of contracts:

The modification, supplementation or cancellation of a notarized contract or transaction may be notarized only with the written agreements or commitments of all parties to that contract or transaction.

The modification, supplementation or cancellation of a notarized contract or transaction shall be notarized at the notarial practice organization that has conducted the notarization and shall be made by a notary. If the notarial practice organization that has conducted the notarization has terminated its operation or been transformed, transferred or dissolved, a notary of the notarial practice organization that is keeping the notarial records shall modify, supplement or cancel the contract or transaction.

Procedures for notarization of the modification, supplementation or cancellation of a notarized contract or transaction are the same as procedures for notarization of contracts and transactions prescribed in this Chapter (Article 51 Law on Notarization No. 53/2014/QH13 dated June 20, 2014)./.
