Procedure for Asset Registration on Certificated Land

Based on Annex I of Decree 151/2025/ND-CP, the procedure involves the following steps:

Step 1: Dossier Submission

The applicant submits the complete dossier to the appropriate receiving agency (One-Stop Shop, Land Registration Office, or its branch). If submitted at a One-Stop Shop, the dossier is then transferred to the Land Registration Office.

Step 2: Dossier Receipt and Inspection

The receiving agency checks the dossier for completeness.

• If complete, it issues a receipt with an appointment for returning the result.
• If incomplete, it issues a notice requesting the applicant to supplement the dossier.

Step 3: Cadastral Map Extraction or Measurement

The Land Registration Office (LRO) reviews the existing map.

• If the issued Certificate is already based on a formal cadastral map and the owner does not request a re-measurement, no new survey is needed.
• If the old Certificate does not use a formal cadastral map, the LRO will extract the map or conduct a cadastral survey to create a diagram for the new Certificate. The state covers the measurement costs. If a re-measurement shows an increased area, the landowner may have to fulfill financial obligations for the additional area.

Step 4: Fulfillment of Financial Obligations

The LRO sends a Land Information Transfer Slip to the tax authority to determine any financial obligations (e.g., registration fees). The tax authority then issues a payment notice to the applicant.

Step 5: Adjustment, Update, and Issuance of New Certificate

The LRO adjusts and updates the changes in the cadastral records and the land database.

• After the applicant provides proof of payment of financial obligations, the LRO issues a new Certificate of Land Use Rights and Ownership of Assets Attached to Land.
• The LRO then hands over the new Certificate to the applicant or sends it to the initial receiving agency for delivery.
