Conditions for being granted a red book according to new regulations
In case of having documents on land use rights (Article 137 of the 2024 Land Law), residential land is granted a red book when meeting the following conditions:
Currently in stable use.
Having documents established before October 15, 1993 on land use rights.
If the document is in the name of another person, there must be a document on transfer of land use rights signed by the parties.
There is no dispute.
Not subject to seizure to enforce the judgment.
In case of no documents on land use rights (Article 138 of the 2024 Land Law), a red book will be considered if:
Households and individuals who are allocated agricultural land under Clause 1, Article 118 and have used non-agricultural residential land/land before July 1, 2014.
Have a permanent residence registration in a locality in a difficult or extremely difficult area. At the same time, the People's Committee of the commune confirmed that the land is not in dispute.
Conclusion: The land use period, whether 10 years or 20 years, is not the basis for granting a red book. The law is based on legal conditions and specific documents of each case.
