Mr. D.C.H in Hanoi reflected that his family had a red book issued to the household and the person in his name was his father at the time of September 12, 2002. Now Mr. H wants to transfer it to his personal name.
Mr. H was instructed by the commune land administration and notary office to prepare many documents and procedures, including a confirmation of household members at the time of September 12, 2002. He went to the commune police to apply for this confirmation, but was only confirmed at the time of August 29, 2003 because there were no more data before.
With the above confirmation, the notary office has no basis to make a transfer dossier for Mr. H's personal name because there are no household member data at the time of issuing the Certificate on September 12, 2002, although his other papers are complete.
Mr. H asked, what should he do to be able to carry out procedures to transfer the household red book to his personal name? Can other papers be replaced or not?
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment answers this question as follows:
The content of his reflection is that the specific case is under the jurisdiction of the locality and needs to be based on the archived records and specific regulations that the locality has issued under its authority to implement the Land Law for consideration and resolution.
