In the past, the implementation of the Law on Court Registration has been very important in contributing to a peaceful, orderly, and just society. However, in actual implementation, many sectors, including both public and private, still do not recognize or understand the meaning, importance, and benefits of certification by the court registration authority, and are not clear about the roles and duties of the court registration authority and the people's courts. Many sectors still underestimate the importance of certification by the court registration authority, failing to bring contracts or documents to the court registration authority for certification, resulting in many contracts or documents that are not in accordance with reality and the law, thus leading to disputes or litigation.
In order to raise awareness and understanding of society about registry work and to ensure that the Law on Registry is implemented uniformly throughout the province.
The Governor issues an order:

1. All departments, organizations, provincial-level units, district administrative authorities, and relevant parties must pay attention to strictly implement the Law on Registry and regulations concerning registry work;
