Land users submit documents to the Land Registration Office or the One-stop Department where the land is located. After receiving it, the specialized agency will verify the origin, check the current status of use, and if eligible, submit it to the competent authority to sign and issue the red book.
After 30 working days from the date of receiving all valid documents, people will be granted a first red book for the vacant land. The fee for granting red books will range from 20,000 - 100,000 VND/issuance, depending on the locality.
Cases where open land is not granted a red book
The 2024 Land Law clearly stipulates cases of reclaimed agricultural land that are not eligible for a red book, including:
The reclaimed land is located in the planning of special-use forest land, national defense land, security or public works.
Land is being disputed or encroached.
Land violating traffic safety corridors and irrigation.
The 2024 Land Law creates more favorable conditions for people to make red books for open land, but the process still needs to be strictly followed. Understanding regulations and preparing complete documents will help people legalize agricultural land use rights quickly and legally
