Overview
Phòng Công chứng số 1 TP.HCM is a highly respected state-run notary office operating under the Department of Justice of Ho Chi Minh City. Established in 1988, it holds the distinction of being the first public notary office founded in Vietnam after 1975. Over decades of service, the office has built a formidable reputation for legal compliance and rigorous administrative standards, making it a trusted institution for high-stakes transactions.
For international buyers and expatriates navigating the Vietnamese real estate market, the office provides essential statutory services required to secure property rights. Its core real estate offerings include the formal notarization of property sales, transfers, and lease agreements, as well as the registration of mortgages and the processing of inheritance declarations. Additionally, the office supports modern administrative workflows by offering online document submission options to streamline the initial stages of the notarization process.
As a state-run institution, its primary advisory and notary services are conducted in Vietnamese, and its main clientele consists of local residents. Foreign clients and non-residents planning to utilize this office should prepare to arrange their own certified translators and legal counsel to ensure smooth communication and accurate document translation. While the office operates with a traditional, advisory-focused positioning, its deep institutional expertise offers unparalleled legal security for buyers seeking the absolute highest level of state-backed verification for their property transactions in Vietnam.
