Nowadays, notarial activities in Vietnam recorded many positive achievements. After more than 6 years of implementation of the Law on Notarization issued in 2014, a total of 1,202 public notarial offices were opened, including 118 notaries and 1,084 notary offices. In comparison with the period before implementing the policy of socialization of notarial activities, the number of public notarial offices increased up to 1002 offices (equivalent to 10 times growth). As of June 30, 2021, there are 3628 notaries nationwide. This is an increase of 3,235 notarial officers compared with the period before implementing the policy of socialization. Notaries are constantly trained  according to the required expertise and qualifications. However, the quality of notarial activities still remains many limitations which directly affect customers and create difficulties for governmental management agencies. For example, unfair competitions between notarial offices to win customers or notarial misconduct leads to legal consequences which adversely affect the public and create unnecessary legal disputes. The papers at the seminar focused on analyzing and clarifying the current circumstances of complying with regulations on legal liability in notarial activities according to the Vietnamese laws. Presenters also pointed out the shortcomings in the process of applying the current regulations to propose solutions improving the current legal system in the field of notarization, creating conditions for further development of notarial activities toward socialization and professionalism in line with the international standards.
