Ms. T.T.T.H in Hung Yen reflected that she has a land plot that was liquidated by the enterprise without proper authority. The land plot was bought by her from someone who had been liquidated by the enterprise before.
Currently, Ms. H only has a photocopy of the original copy of the house stall purchase and sale documents (confirmed by the enterprise) and a photocopy of the money receipt. However, the dossier handling agency does not accept the legal value of these documents to confirm the origin of the land for her.
Ms. H asked, are the above documents legally valid to confirm the origin of the land? In case they are not valid to confirm the origin of the land, can she carry out procedures for land registration and first-time certificate issuance for the land plot in case there are no papers on land use rights? She still has tax receipts since 1998.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment answers this question as follows:
Because the content of her reflection is a specific case under the jurisdiction of the locality, based on management records and guiding documents for the implementation of the Land Law that have been promulgated, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has no basis to answer in detail.
The Ministry would like to mention a number of regulations on principles as follows:
Article 140 of the 2024 Land Law stipulates the issuance of certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land to households and individuals who are using land originating from being assigned not within their authority.
The order and procedures for carrying out land registration and issuing first certificates for households and individuals using land are implemented according to the provisions in section II and section V of part V of Appendix 01 issued together with Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP dated June 12, 2025 of the Government.
Accordingly, point b2, clause 3, section II has regulations on documents in determining the time of land use and land use purpose. In case the documents she submitted do not fall under the provisions of Article 140, they are considered for settlement according to the provisions of Article 138 or Article 139 of the Land Law.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requests citizens to contact competent authorities in the locality for specific guidance and resolution.
