Citizens should send questions to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, questioning the conversion of land use purposes from agricultural land to non-agricultural land due to the conversion needs of households and individuals (registry of changes).
According to Decree 151, the authority to issue a decision to change the purpose is the Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, but it does not clearly stipulate the authority to confirm the content stated on the Land Use Rights Certificate.
So which agency signs to confirm the content of the change of purpose on the Land Use Rights Certificate?
Responding to this content, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that Clause 2, Article 136 of the 2024 Land Law stipulates:
"Article 136. Authority to issue Certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land
The authority to issue Certificates of land use rights, ownership of assets attached to land, and confirmation of changes in cases of registration of changes is regulated as follows:

c) Land registration organizations and branches of land registration organizations are allowed to use their seals to issue Certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land or confirm changes to the issued Certificate."
At point e, clause 1, Article 133 of the 2024 Land Law, it is stipulated that:
"Article 133. Registering changes
