NOTES ON INFORMATION ADJUSTMENTS FROM TRANSFERRING TO CHIP-EQUIPPED ID FOR THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A BUSINESS

In accordance with the provisions of Clause 1, Article 30 of the Business Act 2020:

“Article 30. Adjustment registration for the business registration certificate:

  1. A business must register with the business registration authority when adjusting the content of its business registration certificate as prescribed in Article 28 of this Law.”

Accordingly, Clause 3, Article 28 of the Business Law 2020 stipulates: The following legal documents of individuals (such as ID/Passport) comprise the content of the business registration certificate, including:

– The legal representative of a limited liability company or joint stock company;

– The general partners in a partnership company;

– The businessowners of private businesses.

Therefore, if you fall into one of the above categories, changing the previous ID to the new ID will affect your legal documents (particularly, from the old ID card number to the chip-equipped ID card number), which necessitates that you register to adjust the content of the Certificate of Business Registration (or commonly known as the Business Registration Certificate).

Specifically, according to Point a, Clause 2, Article 63 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP, you will need to update and provide additional information in the Certificate of Business Registration according to the following procedure:

 

Dossier to prepare:

– Notice of request for updating and adjusting business registration information (under the form specified in Appendix II-5 issued with Circular No. 01/2021/TT-BKHDT);

– A notarized copy of the new Citizenship ID.

 

Submission method:

– Submit your application online through the National Portal for Business Registration.

 

In addition, according to Clause 2, Article 36 of the Tax Administration Act 2019:

“Article 36. Notification of change in tax registration information

  1. Taxpayers who register tax directly with a tax authority must notify the managing tax authority within 10 working days from the date on which such information is adjusted.”
