A citizen reports that their family owns a plot of land, the majority of which was granted a land use rights certificate (red book) in 2007. However, a portion of the land currently in use remains uncertified.
The family possesses documentation proving ownership of this uncertified portion.
The citizen inquires about the necessary procedures to have the local authorities reassess the total land area, including the uncertified portion, as a basis for issuing a new certificate.

In response, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment states that this specific case falls under the jurisdiction of local authorities. Resolution should be based on archived records and local regulations.
Therefore, the Ministry cannot provide a direct answer. However, existing land laws (Articles 137, 138, 139, and 140 of the Land Law) outline the process for issuing initial land use rights certificates to households and individuals.
The government has established comprehensive guidelines regarding required documents, procedures, and timelines in Decree No. 101/2024 and Decree No. 151/2025.
Additionally, the Minister of Agriculture and Environment has issued decisions (No. 2304 in 2024 and No. 3380 in 2025) detailing administrative procedures related to land management under the Ministry’s purview.
These decisions outline specific land procedures, including: (1) Process flow; (2) Implementation methods; (3) Required documents and quantities; (4) Processing time; (5) Eligible applicants; (6) Responsible agencies; (7) Expected outcomes; (8) Fees; (9) Application forms; (10) Prerequisites (if any); and (11) Legal basis.
