Adjust Investment Registration Certificate in Binh Thoi Ward, Ho Chi Minh City

After the reorganization of administrative units in Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Thoi Ward was established on the basis of mergers from the areas of Ward 3 and Ward 10 (District 11), part of the natural area and population size of Ward 8 (District 11). This change means that the addresses of businesses and investment projects operating in the area no longer match the actual administrative name.

Viet An Law would like to guide customers on the procedures for adjusting the investment registration certificate in Binh Thoi Ward after the merger of administrative boundaries through the article below.

Regarding the issue of updating addresses due to the rearrangement of administrative units, in the spirit of the direction of Official Letter No. 4370/BTC-DNTN, accordingly, the state management agency establishes two principles to ensure the interests of enterprises:

• Principle of preservation of legal validity: Legal documents issued before the time of merger (including the Certificate of Registration of enterprises, business households, cooperatives and affiliated units) continue to maintain full legal validity in all civil and economic transactions.
• The principle of the right to initiative: The business registration authority is not allowed to require or oblige the enterprise to carry out the procedure for updating the address individually and instantly. Instead, businesses are empowered to proactively choose when to update information that best suits their needs and operational plans.
