Updating registration and licensing records

Corporate changes means updating the company's registration and licensing records whenever its charter capital, registered business lines, or registered office address changes.

Procedure

Main procedure

  1. Approve the change through the owner, Members' Council, Board of Directors, or General Meeting of Shareholders, as applicable.
  2. Prepare the relevant notice, resolution or decision, updated member/shareholder information, and supporting documents.
  3. Submit the amendment electronically through the National Business Registration Portal or to the provincial business-registration authority.
  4. Obtain the updated Enterprise Registration Certificate or confirmation of the registered change.
  5. Update tax, banking, insurance, VNeID, e-invoicing, licenses, contracts, signs, and other affected records.

Timing

Processing time

The business-registration authority generally reviews a complete valid amendment dossier within three working days, although complex FDI, conditional-business, address-transfer, or IRC matters can take longer.

Compliance wording

Corporate changes: Monitor and promptly register amendments to charter capital, business lines, registered address, ownership, legal representative, and other enterprise or investment-registration information.
