Efficient operating system, clear land allocation records

Easy but must follow the rules

In the past months, since the two-level local government came into operation, the atmosphere in communes, wards; and land registration office branches (LROs) has been completely different. Many people have gone to complete documents and procedures for the first issuance of land use right certificates, land use purpose changes; issuance and re-issuance of red books... Among them, many people who were previously afraid to go to the People's Committee of the commune or ward to learn and do it.

The Land Registration Office is always crowded with people coming to make red books.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Quy, Ham Thanh commune, who came to the Ham Thuan Nam Land Registration Office Branch on November 11, 2025, shared: “10 days ago, I came to the office to request a file to change the land use purpose from annual crop land to perennial crop land, and now I have a red book. Compared to before, getting a red book is much easier now.”

Mr. Dau Van Quynh, Tan Thanh commune, has several acres of perennial land under stable cultivation. He said: “In the past, it took a lot of time to separate the land and transfer the ownership to my children, so I did not do it. Now, I find it convenient to do it, I do not have to go to many places. The working time is only 8-22 days to get the certificate.”

However, if the documents are incomplete or do not meet the requirements, it may take longer. This shows that the speed of receiving land records depends on the people. The case of Mr. Dang Huu Thang in Ham Kiem commune is typical. He bought land from Mr. HTN in the same commune, but Mr. N refused to hand over the red book. Mr. Thang sued Mr. N in court for handling and resolution. During the mediation period, Mr. N handed over the book to Mr. Thang, then the two parties made a notarized sale contract...

Mr. Thang said he wanted to be the owner of the land, but when he went to the Land Registration Office to do the name change procedure, they said he was missing the judgment cancellation paper... Mr. Thang had to add this paper to the file soon to be eligible for a certificate. This was mandatory, because land issues needed to be handled carefully or else there would be trouble later. Therefore, his application for a certificate had to take longer, but in return, it was guaranteed to comply with the law.

“
The revised Land Law is flexible, along with the convenient 2-level local government model, people feel that it is easier to get a land use right certificate, so many people do it. To get a land use right certificate, it is mandatory to measure and make a cadastral map. The branch of the Land Registration Office coordinates with the locality after receiving the list of surveying requests.

Coordinate to meet people's needs

With such a high demand for red books, all levels, sectors and localities are making efforts to solve the problem for the people. Although there are difficulties and hardships, in the past, commune-level officials only had the responsibility of examining the legality of the original land origin, then transferring it to the district level to create maps and print books. Now, commune-level land officials have to "take care of" everything.

Many localities make efforts to resolve administrative procedures in the land sector for the people.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hiep - Deputy Head of Economic Department, Tan Lap Commune said: In the first month, the local government at 2 levels was still in operation and was still uncertain, the commune only granted 6 hectares of land. But up to now, the commune has exceeded the target of 82 hectares, expected to reach 100 hectares in the last months of the year. Thanks to the attention of the provincial level in mobilizing 3 more people, including 2 surveying officials and 1 appraiser to the commune, which has partly resolved the local land problems, so the progress of granting certificates is faster.

Many other localities are also making efforts to not delay the results of land procedures for the people. Therefore, the communes and wards will handle any stuck stage immediately because if one stage is stuck, it will lead to other stages, leading to stagnation. For example, the Phan Thiet Regional Land Registration Office has increased the number of surveying staff for Mui Ne Ward to handle the surveying stage for the people.

Mr. Tran Anh Trung - Director of the Phan Thiet Regional Land Registration Office Branch informed that currently, localities are overloaded with people coming to make documents and procedures for issuing red books. Therefore, the branch strengthens coordination with communes and wards in the issue of measurement. Because any land-related documents have measurements and cadastral drawings. That is the initial basis for making land records.

After the merger, people have access to transparent and regulated administrative services, so they feel secure and feel that there are no more barriers to getting red books. That shows the people's trust in the new government. This means that the new government has increased its responsibility to serve the people better. Although it is known that human resources are still limited, software such as VBDLIS and online public services are not effectively connected, causing congestion in some stages such as: processing records and updating land fluctuations; old, missing, and incorrect land records; limited facilities and working conditions; problems in compensation, site clearance, and land valuation... However, with the spirit of solidarity and determination of the Party Committee, the government, and the consensus of the people, the work of granting land use right certificates will be carried out effectively, in line with the current orientation of building a "serving government".

Regulations on coordination with competent land management agencies

On November 3, 2025, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of the province sent a document to departments, branches, sectors and localities requesting comments on the draft decision promulgating regulations on coordination in performing functions, tasks and powers between the Land Registration Office, branches of the Land Registration Office with the competent land management agencies at the commune level, the People's Committees at the commune level, financial agencies, tax agencies and relevant agencies and units in the province.

Previously, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of the province submitted a draft decision to issue regulations to the Provincial People's Committee. Originating from the implementation of administrative unit mergers, before the merger, localities had decisions to issue regulations, but after the merger, there were changes.

The issuance of the decision to promulgate the regulations aims to specify in detail and ensure uniformity in coordination in performing functions, tasks and powers between the Land Registration Office, branches of the Land Registration Office with the competent land management agencies at the commune level, the People's Committee at the commune level, financial agencies, tax agencies and relevant agencies and units.
