Enterprise Registration Authorization

Authorising a representative to submit enterprise registration documents does not remove the need for accurate information and proper company approvals. The scope of authority and the identity of the people involved should be clear.

Separate the company decision from the filing task

The founders or competent company body must make the underlying decision in the proper way. Authority to deliver an application should not be confused with authority to approve a restructuring, sign every corporate document or change ownership terms.

Define the representative’s tasks: preparing a dossier, submitting it, responding to a request for amendments or collecting the result. State any limits and how the company will approve substantive changes.

Prepare the appropriate authority documents

The supporting documents depend on whether an individual, service organisation or another permitted provider handles the filing. Check the current requirements for the authority document, the representative’s identity and any service agreement or introduction letter.

Decree 168/2025/ND-CP replaced Decree 01/2021/ND-CP. The older decree references in the original article should therefore not be used as the sole basis for a new filing. Confirm current forms and electronic identification requirements before submission.

Check the dossier and retain the result

Review the proposed name, registered office, capital, ownership and legal representative information against the approved transaction. Foreign investment or a regulated activity may require additional work beyond enterprise registration.

Keep the signed authority, approved application, submission evidence, amendment requests and final registration result. A lawyer can help distinguish a clerical correction from a change that needs a new corporate approval and can set a clear process for reporting back to the company.
