In force Changing · Law · Effective

  • Amended by 03/2026/QH16 (effective ): Replaces this law. Law 03/2026/QH16 (Luật Hộ tịch) was passed by the National Assembly on 23/4/2026 and takes effect 1/3/2027 (Điều 29 khoản 1); Law 60/2014/QH13 expires from that date (Điều 29 khoản 2), and civil-status files received before it and not yet finished continue under the rules in force when received (Điều 30). Read from the signed Gazette PDF, Công báo số 285 of 27/5/2026 (congbaocdn.chinhphu.vn/180507251028987904/2026/5/27/469530-1779268193_v1_1779843006_signed.pdf, text layer, 05/10/2026).

Law on Grassroots Mediation (2013)

In force Changing · Law · Effective

Read from the signed Gazette PDF (datafiles.chinhphu.vn/cpp/files/vbpq/2026/9/16-qh16.signed.pdf, scan, read by eye 04/10/2026). Điều 3 khoản 1 (scope) is reworded: point b now excludes disputes arising from a civil transaction that violates a legal prohibition or social morality, in place of the 2013 wording on civil-transaction violations that civil procedure law does not allow to be mediated. Điều 4 khoản 1 keeps the voluntary principle. Not yet in force, so not a top-level entry.
