Requirement

Registering a change

In Vietnam, a company must register a change of its legal representative with the Business Registration Office within 10 days from the date the change occurs. This updates the company's Enterprise Registration Certificate and the National Enterprise Registration Portal.

Compliance wording

Legal representative: Register and update the company's legal representative information whenever the authorized signatory or legal representative changes.

Do not conflate the two

Important distinction

An authorized signatory is not automatically the company's legal representative:

The Business Registration Office generally processes a complete valid application within approximately three working days; this processing period is separate from the company's 10-day filing obligation.

Follow-up

After the amended certificate is issued
