Still stuck in practice
The 9-day campaign "enriching and cleaning the national land database" is a general review and standardization of land data nationwide, taking place over 90 days from September to November 2025. The goal is to ensure "correct - complete - clean - live" land information, synchronously connecting with the population database, helping to manage transparently and serve people better.
In Hanoi, this campaign is being urgently deployed to "reach the finish line" on schedule. According to statistics from the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Environment, up to now, more than 5.67 million records on land users and assets attached to land have been extracted by Hanoi for review and updating.
In the authentication work, the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Environment has handed over more than 4.11 million records to the Department of Administrative Police on Social Order for comparison with the national database on population.
Of which, 73% of records have been cleaned, ensuring consistency of information. However, the department continues to update and edit data for cases of violations, especially data at housing development projects, which have been fully synchronized with the national database since October 20, 2025.
For communes and wards that do not have a database, the department has instructed the collection of land use right certificates and citizen identification cards. By mid-October, 93/126 communes and wards had collected nearly 470 thousand records, and are continuing to import and digitize to complete land and housing data.
By October 17, 11 communes had completed synchronizing data to the national database with more than 15,500 plots of land meeting group 1 criteria.
However, in the process of implementing the 9-day campaign "enriching and cleaning land data", many communes and wards in Hanoi have encountered many difficulties due to their characteristics.
According to Mr. Nguyen Tien Dat - Head of the Economic Department of Phuong Duc commune, in many villages in the commune, many land use right certificates are torn, erased or recorded inconsistently, the current status, the owner of the land plot has changed compared to the certificate but the people do not issue them again, reissue them, or separate them, so the digitalization and updating work requires a lot of human resources and time.
According to Chairman of Yen Bai Commune People's Committee Nguyen Van Tung, there are many different types of books in the area (land records, old certificate issuance books), certificate data through many periods (in 1993, 2003, after 2010) is not unified or is damaged, lacking, difficult to compare (antiseptic, blurred, torn...).
In many communes, cadres are mobilized to the maximum but still face obstacles when the number of land use right certificates is issued through many different periods and models.
Faced with this reality, the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Environment has compiled the problems and proposed a series of solutions. Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Xuan Dai said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will soon issue detailed instructions on land use identification codes, data classification criteria, ensuring national consistency;
At the same time, upgrading information technology infrastructure, improving processing speed and data synchronization ability between levels. The Department also requested the Department of Land Management to issue documents guiding unit prices, estimates, and allocation of funds so that communes and wards have a basis for implementation.
Some task groups have been completed
According to Mr. Mai Van Phan - Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management, in the context of reorganizing the two-level local government model, complete and accurate land data will help grassroots authorities have tools to handle administrative procedures right in communes, wards and towns. People no longer have to travel much, their applications are processed electronically, saving time and costs.
The Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management said that the land data cleaning campaign sets three key goals: creating a modern data platform to serve e-Government and transparent and responsible land management; improving the quality of public service provision, helping people and businesses carry out land procedures more conveniently; connecting and synchronizing land databases with other national databases, helping management agencies exploit data effectively, serving people better.
The Department of Land Management said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment was assigned to preside over 5 task groups, to date 4 groups have been completed, 1 group is continuing to be implemented.
The first task group that the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has completed is to develop technical guidance documents on collecting, updating, editing and supplementing information on land database, the unique identification code of the land plot and implementing local government at 2 levels.
Up to now, the ministry has completed the development of documents to guide localities to review and classify data into groups: The group has been built a database and data can be used, ensuring "correct - sufficient - clean - living"; The group has been built a database but the data needs to be done correctly, done enough, supplement and authenticate information of land users and owners of assets attached to land; The group has been built a database but the data cannot be used, it needs to be rebuilt; the results of the national land data classification are compiled.
Documents and forms accompanying instructions for localities to collect citizen identification cards (CCCD) and other types of certificates of residential land and housing but have not yet built a land database for land users and home owners have also been completed.
