Ministry of Justice of Vietnam

What Ministry of Justice of Vietnam does

The Ministry of Justice of Vietnam (Bộ Tư Pháp) is a central government ministry of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, established on August 28, 1945, and headquartered at 60 Tran Phu Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi. It is the sole state authority responsible for legislative drafting, legal policy coordination, civil status registration, notary services, legal aid, court judgment enforcement, and international legal cooperation. The ministry operates a hierarchical service network spanning 63 Provincial Justice Departments and over 700 District Justice Offices, serving Vietnamese citizens, domestic and foreign business entities, and government agencies.

The ministry operates a multi-platform digital ecosystem anchored by the Ministry Portal (moj.gov.vn) and complemented by the Public Services Portal (Cổng dịch vụ công), the AI Pháp luật (Legal AI) platform at ai.phapluat.gov.vn for legal document processing and research, the Civil Status Management Information System, the National Legal Database (vbpl.vn), the Legal Codification Portal (Pháp điển), the Civil Judgment Enforcement Portal, and the National Legal Dissemination and Education Portal. Internal systems include Voffice for document management and email services. The AI Pháp luật platform supports generative AI and knowledge retrieval capabilities for legal applications.

As a state entity, the ministry is funded through the Government of Vietnam's state budget allocation rather than commercial revenue, and pricing is not applicable for its public-sector services. Its leadership comprises Minister Hoàng Thanh Tùng and five Deputy Ministers overseeing distinct portfolio areas including international legal cooperation, notary practice, and legal dissemination. Strategic priorities include digital transformation, legal framework review (covering over 43,000 legal documents), and regional cooperation through the ASEAN Legal Forum 2026.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Estonia e-Governance Academy: The e-Governance Academy is a globally recognized leader in national digital government platforms and legal informatics, comparable to Vietnam's MoJ digital ecosystem in its ambition to digitize citizen-government legal interactions at national scale.

Regional players

• Ministry of Justice of Thailand: Thailand's Ministry of Justice is a regional counterpart within ASEAN with overlapping mandates (legal aid, notarial services, civil registration, international legal cooperation), making it a relevant regional peer for cross-border legal cooperation benchmarking.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Department of Justice: The U.S. DOJ is a broad incumbent in the global justice sector with extensive civil, criminal, and digital-service programs; it serves as a benchmark for large-scale justice administration even though its scope is significantly wider than Vietnam's MoJ.
• Thomson Reuters (Westlaw): Westlaw is a global legal information and AI research platform; comparable to Vietnam's National Legal Database and Legal AI initiatives, and useful as a peer for measuring scale and capability of legal knowledge retrieval systems.
• Ministry of Law and Justice of India: India's Department of Legal Affairs under the Ministry of Law and Justice handles legislative drafting, legal aid, and justice sector reform at federal scale for a much larger population, making it a useful comparator on scope, scale, and digital service delivery models.
• LexisNexis (RELX): LexisNexis operates one of the world's largest legal databases and AI-powered legal research platforms, making it a relevant comparator for the National Legal Database (vbpl.vn) and AI Pháp luật platform — particularly on commercial AI-in-legal benchmarks.

Direct peers

• Ministry of Justice of the People's Republic of China: China's central Ministry of Justice performs the closest functional analog: legislative drafting support, legal aid, notary administration, civil mediation, and justice信息化建设 (digital transformation). It is a same-category government ministry operating a comparable mandate in a similarly structured one-party state.
• Ministry of Justice of Japan: Japan's Ministry of Justice oversees civil and criminal justice, legal aid, and immigration; it is widely cited as an advanced digital justice administration reference point (e.g., online civil litigation, legal AI exploration), making it a strong functional and modernization peer.

Others

• United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC): UNODC's Rule of Law and Justice Section supports justice sector reform globally — analogous to the cross-border technical assistance and reform coordination role the MoJ of Vietnam plays regionally, particularly through the Vietnam-Laos cooperation program.
• ASEAN Secretariat: The ASEAN Secretariat hosts regional legal cooperation initiatives, including the ASEAN Legal Forum that the MoJ of Vietnam chairs in 2026. It is a peer in regional legal integration, not in commercial service delivery.
