The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment proposed printing QR codes on land use rights certificates and property ownership certificates attached to land (red books) to prevent counterfeiting.
"Red book" shortened from 4 to 2 pages
The above proposal is stated in the draft Circular regulating certificates of land use rights, ownership of assets attached to land and cadastral records.
According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the new land use right certificate form will only have two pages, the QR code will be printed at the top, right corner of page one.
According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, QR codes help people look up information printed on certificates and feedback information to prevent counterfeiting.
Sample certificate of land use rights and property ownership on land.
In addition to the proposal to print additional QR codes, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment also proposed to amend some contents of the land use rights certificate, house ownership certificate and property on land (red book). Specifically, the new certificate form will have 2 pages instead of 4 pages as before. Previously, most of the information in the certificate was on pages two and three, but according to the proposal, it will be moved to page one.
The national emblem is reduced in size and placed in the left corner of page one, instead of in the center as it is now. The land plot information section including plot number, land type, duration of use, origin of use, and previous address on page two is now on page one.
Similarly, information on assets attached to land, notes, land plot diagrams, and certifications from competent authorities are also provided on page one.
The information table of assets attached to land also includes additional declarations such as: Name of asset/construction item; Construction area (m2); Floor area or capacity; Main structure; Construction level; Number of floors; Year of construction completion; Ownership period.
On page two there will only be information Changes after certificate issuance and entry number after certificate issuance.
After consulting with people and ministries and localities in May, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will issue a circular.
From 2025, red book will have a new name
Red book and pink book are both terms that are not recognized in legal documents. These are just common terms used by people based on the color of documents confirming land use rights or home ownership rights.
In which, the red book is used to call the land use right certificate. The pink book is used to call the house ownership and land use right certificate/house ownership certificate/construction ownership certificate.
However, the 2024 Land Law (Clause 21, Article 3) stipulates: "The Certificate of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land is a legal document for the State to confirm the legal land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land of the person having the right to use land and ownership of assets attached to land. Assets attached to land that are granted a Certificate of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land are houses and construction works attached to land according to the provisions of law".
This means that from January 1, 2025, the red book and pink book will have the correct name "certificate of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land". In which, assets attached to land include: Houses and construction works attached to land.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will provide specific regulations on land use rights certificates and property ownership rights attached to land.
Thus, when the 2024 Land Law takes effect on January 1, 2025, the red book or pink book will still be considered a certificate of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land, including houses and constructions attached to land.
Also according to this law, red books and pink books issued before January 1, 2025 are still legally valid, so the person who is granted the book is not required to go through the procedure to issue a new one, unless there is a need.
Previously, there were many cases of printing fake red books to commit fraud. The common point of many cases is that the subjects need money, so they go online to find sources to print fake red books. Then, the subjects use the red books as collateral, mortgage, or even borrow from banks.
Typically, in Hoa Binh, recently, Lac Thuy District Police arrested three subjects for making and using fake land use right certificates to mortgage and fraudulently appropriate property, including: Pham Thi Hoa (born in 1989, residing in Dong Tam commune, formerly an official of Dong Tam Commune People's Committee); Vu Hong Thuy (born in 1986, residing in Dong Tam commune, formerly an official of Lac Thuy District People's Committee, recently resigned); Do Thi Thu Hoai (born in 1984, residing in Chi Ne town, formerly an official of Lac Thuy District People's Committee).
The subjects colluded with each other to obtain information on land plots of local people in the district to connect with subjects outside the society to forge many land use right certificates with areas ranging from several dozen to hundreds of square meters in prime locations in Chi Ne town. All the forged red books were under the names of the three subjects above.
After forging land use right certificates, the subjects mortgaged 5 fake red books to defraud and appropriate money from many people.
Ms. Pham Thi Thanh (born in 1960, residing in Chi Ne town) had her fake red book mortgaged, borrowed and appropriated about 22 billion VND...
