From the beginning of August this year, the initial registration of land and land-attached assets may be carried out electronically in accordance with the land and e-transaction laws.
Such is highlighted in the Government’s Decree 101 on basic land survey, registration and grant of land use right certificates, and land information system.
As per the Decree, an e-dossier for first-time registration of land and land-attached assets must comprise authenticated e-documents containing required information and e-data as specified by law.
E-certificates of land use rights and ownership of land-attached assets are authenticated e-documents that are uniformly managed on the National Land Information System and have the same legal validity as conventional paper certificates.
Provincial-level People’s Committees are responsible for granting such e-certificates when software, information technology infrastructure, information security and other conditions as specified by the e-transaction law are satisfied.
In order to streamline administrative procedures, the Decree reduces the overall time amount for completion of procedures for grant of first-time land and land-attached asset registration from 30 working days as stipulated in Decree 43 of 2014 to 23 working days.
In addition, the Decree specifies six cases in which registration of changes in land and land-attached assets is required upon the application for land use right certificates, nine cases eligible for renewal of granted certificates of land use rights and land-attached assets, and new forms of land registration dossiers, among others.
