Definition

1. Noun:
   • Stamped paper; revenue stamp paper: A special type of paper pre-printed with a government revenue stamp or seal, historically used for official documents, contracts, or legal transactions to certify that a required tax or fee has been paid.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Hợp đồng mua bán đất cần viết trên giấy tín chỉ. (The land sale contract needs to be written on stamped paper.)
  • Giấy tín chỉ được dùng để đảm bảo tính pháp lý của văn bản. (Stamped paper is used to ensure the legal validity of a document.)

Advanced Usage

• This term is now largely archaic or historical in modern Vietnamese administrative and legal contexts. It refers to a physical paper system that has been mostly replaced by modern methods of paying fees and stamp duties (like adhesive stamps, electronic payments, or official pre-printed forms from government agencies).

Variants and Related Words

• Giấy có tem thuế: Literally "paper with tax stamp"; a more descriptive modern equivalent.
• Tem thuế (n): Revenue stamp; the stamp itself, which can be affixed to documents.
• Lệ phí trước bạ (n): Registration fee/stamp duty, often associated with transactions requiring legal certification.

Synonyms

• Revenue stamp paper
• Fiscal paper
• Stamped official paper

Notes on Usage

• The term "giấy tín chỉ" specifically implies the value or tax is integrated into the paper itself. Its use confirms the document's authenticity and that the state's fiscal requirement has been met.
• In contemporary language, you are more likely to encounter instructions to pay a "lệ phí" (fee) or use a "tem thuế" (revenue stamp) rather than to obtain "giấy tín chỉ."
