Printing Industry Operation Permit Consulting Service

The Printing Industry Operation Permit Consulting Service is gaining attention from businesses in the printing and publishing sectors. Expanding markets and ensuring compliant operations necessitate obtaining a Printing Operation Permit. This requires a thorough understanding of relevant processes, dossiers, and legal requirements. This article details the procedure for obtaining a Printing Operation Permit in Vietnam.

Legal Regulations on Printing Industry Operation Permits

Bringing a printing facility into operation requires enterprises to follow prescribed procedures. They must register for all necessary permits as per legal regulations. This ensures legality and operational efficiency. Accordingly, enterprises need to obtain the following printing industry operation permits:

• Print facility operation registration certificate.
• Printing operation permit.
• Permit for printing publications (if necessary).

Details are below:

Print Facility Operation Registration

Print facility operation registration is the first mandatory administrative procedure. Organizations and individuals establishing and operating a print facility in Vietnam must comply. This is a legal requirement. It also allows state management agencies to gather information, manage, and support printing activities.

Before operation, the print facility must prepare one Declaration Form for Print Facility Operation Registration. This form follows a prescribed template. It is submitted to the competent authority.

Competent authorities for receiving and processing print facility operation registrations are:

• Ministry of Information and Communications: Receives dossiers from print facilities under central ministries, agencies, and organizations. This includes facilities under state-owned organizations or enterprises (e.g., Truth National Political Publishing House, printing houses of central press agencies).
• Provincial People’s Committee: Receives dossiers from “other print facilities.” This includes most private printing enterprises, limited liability companies, and joint-stock companies operating locally.

Processing time: 03 working days from receipt of a valid dossier.

Printing Operation Permit

After completing print facility operation registration, many enterprises will need a Printing Operation Permit. This is the official license allowing the facility to perform printing activities. This permit ensures the facility meets legal and capacity standards for professional operation. This is a core aspect of the Printing Industry Operation Permit Consulting Service.

The print facility must submit one dossier for a printing operation permit. This is sent to the state management agency for printing activities (Ministry of Information and Communications or Provincial People’s Committee). The dossier includes:

• Application for a printing operation permit using the prescribed form (Form No. 01 – Appendix to Decree No. 72/2022/ND-CP).
• A copy (with original for comparison) or a legally valid copy of one of the following: business registration certificate, enterprise registration certificate, investment certificate, tax registration certificate, or establishment decision for public service print facilities.
• Resume of the head of the print facility using the prescribed form (Form No. 03 – Appendix to Decree No. 72/2022/ND-CP).

Processing time: 10 working days from receipt of a valid dossier.

Permit for Printing Publications

Unlike the above, facilities intending to print publications such as books, newspapers, magazines, pictures, and maps must obtain a Permit for Printing Publications. This permit involves stricter additional requirements. These ensure the legality and quality control of published products compared to the standard Printing Operation Permit.

Similar to the procedure for a Printing Operation Permit, before operation, the publication printing facility must submit one dossier as prescribed. This is sent to the state management agency for printing activities. The dossier includes documents similar to those for a standard printing operation permit. However, the permit for printing publications requires additional specific supporting documents:

• For the head of the publication printing facility: Must be the legal representative stated in the business registration certificate, enterprise registration certificate, investment certificate, or establishment decision from a competent authority.
• Documents proving production premises: A notarized copy or a copy presented with the original for comparison of the land use right certificate, contract, or other documents proving land allocation, land lease, or lease of premises/workshops for production.
• Documents proving equipment: Copies of ownership or lease-purchase documents for equipment. If equipment is not yet available, the application dossier must include a list of planned equipment investments.

Processing time: 10 working days from receipt of a valid dossier.
