On the Government Information Portal, Mr. N.H (in Thanh Hoa) shared that his family has a piece of land, most of which was granted a red book in 2007, and a part of the land that the family still uses has not been granted a book, with documents proving that it belongs to the family.
Mr. H asked, what procedures do you need to follow to request the authorities to re-determine the family's land area, including the part that has not been granted a red book as a basis for reissuing the red book?
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment responds to this issue as follows:
The content of his reflection is a specific case under the authority of the locality and needs to be based on archival records and specific regulations issued by the locality according to its authority to implement the Land Law for consideration and resolution; therefore, the Ministry has no basis to answer.
