Hanoi resolutely enriches and cleans up land data
Implementing the direction of the Government and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Hanoi is implementing the campaign "90 days and nights to get rich, clean up the land database" with the determination to build a "correct - sufficient - clean - living" data set, serving the management, planning and development of the socio-economy.
Hanoi conducts data review and classification according to four criteria: legality, information completeness, level of cleaning with population data and operational capability - that determines the data group that meets the standards of "correct, sufficient, clean, and alive". To date, more than 5.67 million records of 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. In parallel, 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.
Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Xuan Dai said that, despite difficulties, Hanoi is persistent and determined, doing as much as possible, ensuring that the capital's land data is "correct - sufficient - clean - alive", operating synchronously and transparently, serving people and businesses better.
This is also an important basis for Hanoi to realize the goal of digital government - digital data - serving digital people. The whole city is making efforts to ensure that by the end of 2025, Hanoi's land data is complete, accurate, vivid, transparent, and interconnected with national databases...
The volume of land data collected has reached a very large number
Talking about the campaign, in an interview with Lao Dong, Mr. Mai Van Phan - Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) said that on August 27, the unit began to imagine and "draft" the idea for a land data cleaning campaign. Immediately after that, the action plan was urgently developed and implemented, and the staff had to work all day on Saturday and Sunday to ensure progress.
According to Mr. Phan, this campaign is a valuable lesson to implement similar projects in the future. Because the work of cleaning up land data has a huge scope of impact, directly related to many classes in society, requiring close, synchronous coordination and widespread participation of the people.
"We both deploy, organize communication, and combine the implementation of professional tasks so that communication work goes hand in hand with the implementation process," Mr. Phan affirmed.
The Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management also said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security to develop an integrated tool on the VNeID application to create maximum convenience for people in the process of providing information.
"People do not need to photocopy red books like before. We are developing tools for people to take red books, land use right certificates and declare information directly to VNeID.
For example, he is in Hanoi but has land in Da Nang, Khanh Hoa or Ho Chi Minh City, and can transfer data through the system without having to submit it directly. After that, we will extract data and send information to the corresponding locality for verification and data cleaning," Mr. Phan emphasized.
According to him, up to now, the volume of land data collected has reached a very large number, about 60 million plots of land. "Currently, only a small part is not yet complete. We will handle and remove any problems as soon as we do it," said Mr. Phan.
The Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management also informed that during the process of collecting data, the authorities encountered many cases of land use right certificates being mortgaged at banks, or not yet completing administrative procedures such as transfer and inheritance.
"There are cases where the certificate still has the names of deceased grandparents and parents; old documents but have not yet completed inheritance procedures... In all these cases, we still collect information, people can still declare it in the VNeID system.
Later, when people go to work to inherit or transfer, the data is available on the system, there is no need to bring old documents, and we will conduct electronic authentication to ensure the legality and synchronization of the data," Mr. Phan emphasized.
Some localities such as Ha Tinh and Dong Nai have achieved a large amount of data; Thai Nguyen, despite being affected by floods, has still completed progress; Hai Phong has also achieved many positive results, implementing methodically and scientifically.
The key task of Plan 515 is to review all administrative procedures related to land, determine which procedures can be performed online, which procedures can be performed partially online, to minimize paperwork, save time for people and management agencies.
"The implementation of each administrative procedure in the land sector is related to many other legal regulations such as civil and notary, so to facilitate people, there needs to be consistency and amendment between relevant laws.
The ultimate goal is that when there is a database, the sectors must sit together to reduce the components as before," said the Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management.
