According to the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Environment, the integration of QR codes on land use right certificates is one of the outstanding new points, aimed at promoting comprehensive digital transformation in the field of natural resources and environment, while bringing practical benefits to both management agencies and people.
The most obvious benefit is reducing the situation of forging papers, information loss, and shortening the time in transactions of buying and selling, transfer, mortgage... Relevant parties can quickly verify legality through the national land database system. This not only helps protect the legitimate rights of land users, but also facilitates the process of handling administrative procedures.
The integration of QR codes also contributes to reducing the use of hard copy papers, promoting land management by electronic methods, protecting the environment, and saving social costs.
