Making a red book for land purchased by handwritten paper, in order according to the province's instructions

A case sent a petition to functional agencies said that it had received the transfer of land use rights in handwritten papers from 2013, with signatures of related parties. By 2020, houses had been built on this land and there is currently a survey confirmation form showing that the land plot is residential land in urban areas.

From that reality, people wonder whether the case of receiving transfer by handwritten papers is eligible to be considered for the first time for issuing a Certificate of Land Use Rights. Along with that are questions about the components of the dossier, order and procedures applied to this type of dossier.

Answering the above content, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that this is a specific case, it is necessary to compare archival records and base on regulations issued by localities to consider and resolve. Because there is not enough information and basis, the Ministry does not answer specifically for each case but only states general principles for people to refer to.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, current land law has stipulated the issuance of Certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land for the first time to households and individuals who are using land in Articles 137, 138, 139 and 140 of the Land Law.

This agency also said that Article 15 of Decree 49/2026/ND-CP has decentralized authority to the Provincial People's Committees in regulating the order and administrative procedures for land. Therefore, the components of dossiers to be submitted as well as the steps to carry out land procedures, including registration of land changes, will be regulated by the Provincial People's Committees.

Based on the above, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requests people to contact competent authorities in the locality for guidance on implementation in accordance with legal regulations.
