One case reflects problems related to the use of land purchased with handwritten papers from many years ago, currently there is no dispute but no procedures have been carried out to issue a Certificate of Land Use Rights (red book).
People are wondering whether this case will be granted a red book or not, what documents need to be prepared and how to carry out procedures.
Regarding this content, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that because there is not enough information about the origin of the land plot, there is no basis to answer specifically for each case. However, the law has regulations on the order and procedures for cases of buying and selling by handwritten papers.
Accordingly, Appendix I issued together with Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP clearly stipulates the procedures for land registration and Certificate issuance for cases where land use rights have been transferred but procedures have not been carried out as prescribed.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that for cases of transfer by handwritten papers, land users will carry out land registration procedures and first-time red book issuance according to legal regulations.
This is to legalize land use rights based on actual use, instead of carrying out transfer procedures as in normal cases.
To ensure compliance with regulations, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requests people to contact the commune-level People's Committee where the land is located to check dossiers, determine conditions and get specific guidance.
The issuance of red books in each case will depend on the dossier, land origin and actual use status, so it needs to be considered by competent authorities according to regulations.
According to current regulations, land purchased with handwritten papers is not automatically granted a red book, but can still be considered if the land registration procedures are carried out in accordance with the law.
