Legal alert
Is your company on Vietnam’s 42,911-company urgent inspection list? ECOVIS checks it for you
Official Letter 3164/DNTN-GS (7 October 2026) lists 42,911 enterprises with no beneficial owner (BO) information on file. Enter your company name, tax code and email. We will check the list and send the result to your email.
Why this matters now
- Inspections are under way. Registration offices are asked to focus on beneficial owner information in the last four months of 2026.
- Fines are per breach, up to VND 100 million (about USD 3,800) for a company (Decree 288/2026/ND-CP). A company incorporated before 1 July 2025 that fails to supplement BO information faces VND 70–100 million (about USD 2,700–3,800), plus an order to supplement.
- Wrong or missing records also count. Untruthful or inaccurate BO information: VND 30–70 million (about USD 1,200–2,700). Not keeping the company’s own BO list: VND 40–70 million (about USD 1,500–2,700).
- These amounts apply to organisations; individuals pay half. USD figures are rounded at VND 26,000 = USD 1.
Being listed is not a finding of breach. Whether a fine applies depends on your company’s filing history.
Do this now: request your company’s list check
- Enter your company name, tax code and email in the form below.
- Submit your request; ECOVIS Vietnam Law will check the list and email the result.
- Use the six-question self-check to review your company’s BO position.
Being listed is not a finding of breach. A “not listed” result does not confirm that BO information is complete.
Self-check your beneficial ownership records
The list of 42,911 enterprises supports a review of beneficial ownership filings; it is not a finding of non-compliance.
A beneficial owner is the individual who ultimately owns or controls the company.
The company is listed
Your situation: The company is listed, was established before 1 July 2025 and has submitted a registration filing or change notification since that date.
What the result means: Being listed only shows that the company appears on the review list. It is not a finding that the company breached any requirement.
Self-check: Look for Form 10 in the change filing submitted since 1 July 2025 and in the company's retained copy. Check whether the list names the individual beneficial owner or owners.

The search result supports an initial check only; compare it against Form 10 and the company's retained filing records.
What the result means
The list identifies enterprises for priority review. Being listed is not a finding of breach. The latest date in the list is 8 October 2026; information filed after that date is not reflected. A result of “not listed” covers only that list and does not confirm that your beneficial owner information is complete.
