Many business owners think they only need to submit the application, wait for approval from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and download the red or blue logo to place in the footer. In reality, if you skip the step of adding the Ministry of Industry and Trade link that leads to the official verification page, your website may still face an administrative fine of VND 10 to 20 million for displaying information incorrectly. Moreover, today’s customers are highly observant. They only need to click the logo once, and if it does not redirect or shows an error, their trust immediately declines.

The importance of adding the Ministry of Industry and Trade link to your website

Integrating this dynamic link proves that your website has been reviewed by the government and helps protect consumer rights. Take Nhã Kỳ Cosmetics as an example. After completing the procedures and correctly updating the verification link, the number of customer inquiries about legal compliance dropped by 40%, while the order completion rate increased slightly by 2.5% because customers felt more secure when making online payments. In addition, search engines such as Google also value websites that fully comply with local laws, helping improve SEO quality scores significantly.

Requirements for obtaining a verification link from online.gov.vn

You can only do this when your notification or registration application has changed to the status “Approved” or “Confirmed”. If the application is still marked “Pending Approval” or “Additional Information Required”, the system will not yet create a public business information page from which you can obtain the link. Log in to your account on the E-commerce Activity Management Portal to check the exact status before proceeding.

How to add the Ministry of Industry and Trade link in 3 simple steps

This process does not require programming expertise. Simply follow the steps below in order.

Step 1: Look up your company’s website information

First, access the Ministry’s official lookup page at online.gov.vn/nen-tang. Enter your company tax identification number or the exact domain name in the search box, then click the “Search” button. When the results appear, click the magnifying glass icon or the website name to open the detailed information page.

Step 2: Copy the official verification URL

When the detail page appears, you will see the company’s complete legal information and the website’s approval status. Click the browser’s address bar and copy the entire URL. This URL is usually long and contains unique application identification codes; it is not the online.gov.vn homepage link.

Step 3: Integrate the link into the website footer

Now, log in to your website administration panel (WordPress, Shopify, LadiPage…). Go to the Footer settings area, usually located under Widgets or Customizer. Select the red or blue ‘Notified’ or ‘Registered’ logo image, choose the Insert Link function, and paste the URL you copied. Save the changes and clear your browser cache to check the actual result.

How to fix errors when the Ministry of Industry and Trade link does not display or returns a 404 error

A 404 error is the most common issue after the Ministry of Industry and Trade upgrades its data system. A typical example is Bella Dental Clinic, whose old link suddenly stopped working completely after the update on July 1, 2026. When this happens, remain calm and try the following two solutions:

• Perform the lookup again from the beginning: A system upgrade may change the verification URL structure. Return to online.gov.vn/nen-tang to obtain the latest link and replace the old one.
• Check for spaces: Sometimes extra spaces are copied at the beginning or end of the link, causing the system to interpret the URL incorrectly. Make sure the pasted link contains no unwanted spaces.
