This is a question of many customers when using the Certified Copy Service, So 1 Translation would like to answer the above question:
Pursuant to Article 14 of Decree No. 75/2000/ND-CP dated December 8, 2000 on Notarization and Authentication.
Article 14. Value of notarized documents and certified documents
- Contracts, transactions, copies of documents, signatures of individuals in documents serving the implementation of transactions and translations of documents that have been certified by the Notary Office according to the provisions of this Decree are called notarized documents. Contracts, transactions, copies of documents and signatures of individuals in documents serving the implementation of transactions that have been certified by the People's Committees at district and commune levels according to the provisions of this Decree are called notarized documents.
- Notarized documents and certified documents have evidentiary value, except in cases where they are made without proper authority or do not comply with the provisions of this Decree or are declared invalid by the Court.
- A notarized or certified contract is valid for the contracting parties; in case the obligated party fails to perform its obligations, the other party has the right to request a competent state agency to resolve the matter in accordance with the provisions of law.
- In case a notarization or certification as prescribed by this Decree falls under the jurisdiction of different agencies, the notarized or certified document performed at any of those competent agencies shall have equal value.
====================
However, if viewed from the perspective of the Term of Use and according to the administrative regulations of the competent authorities
A – For documents certified as copies from the original
- For documents subject to change (for example, marriage certificate, business registration certificate, house and land ownership certificate), the receiving agency usually only accepts documents that have been certified within 6 months.
- For unchanged documents (e.g., degrees) may not specify a term.
B - For notarized documents (contracts), the validity period of that contract is based on that.
If viewed from the perspective of legal evidence, it has permanent validity when a dispute occurs, if the prescribed procedures are properly and fully implemented.
