According to Article 8, Clause 1 of Circular 24/2014/TT-BTNMT (amended and supplemented by Circular 09/2021/TT-BTNMT), the application dossier for the initial issuance of a Land Use Right Certificate includes:
Application form for the Land Use Right Certificate, as per the prescribed template;
One of the documents proving land use rights (as outlined in Article 100 of the 2013 Land Law and its guiding documents);
Proof of financial obligation fulfillment, if applicable;
Land plot cadastral measurement, in cases where the land plot does not have a cadastral map or has not been officially surveyed.
Depending on the case, not all land title application dossiers require a cadastral map excerpt. (Illustrative image)
Therefore, not every application requires a cadastral map excerpt. Specifically:
If the locality already has an official cadastral map and the land plot’s boundaries and area are clearly defined, applicants are not required to submit a cadastral measurement.
If the land plot lacks a cadastral map or the existing map does not match reality (unadjusted survey), the land registration authority will request a cadastral measurement as the basis for issuing the certificate.
In practice, many cases involve land purchases or transfers without prior surveying. In such instances, applicants must obtain a cadastral measurement from the Land Registration Office or a licensed surveying unit. This cost is borne by the land user.
A crucial note for applicants: the necessity of a cadastral measurement in the land title application dossier depends on the locality’s cadastral records. Therefore, verify the requirements at the Land Registration Office before submission to avoid delays or rejections.
