The issuance of a new land use rights certificate or its adjustment will now take only seven working days, as opposed to the 30 days established by law.

Processing time for issuing the land use rights certificate has now been cut short.

This was one of the new changes under decision No.4135 of the People’s Committee on the list of 35 land-related administrative procedures under the city-level administration.

The local authorities also announced 15 other procedures under the jurisdiction of district-level People’s Committees. Accordingly, the processing time for issuing a certificate of land use rights for the first time must be completed within 20 business days, or the resolution of land disputes should not exceed 45 business days.

The Hanoi People’s Committee assigned the municipal Department of Natural Resources and Development to cooperate with other agencies and localities in drafting an internal processing mechanism to ensure compliance with the new rule on processing time.

In June 2022, the Committee issued decision No.26 on simplifying procedures related to the declaration and verification of the land use rights status in Hanoi.

Hanoi is currently gearing up administrative reform, seen as a breakthrough solution for socio-economic development.

The Office of the Hanoi People’s Committee, as of late September, has received over 1,000 recommendations related to administrative works via hotline number 0243.934.6034 and the email address kiemsoatthutuchanhchinh@hanoi.gov.vn, the national public services portal, and Zalo app.

At the 9th session of the Hanoi People's Council held on September 12, the people's representative body passed a resolution on delegating some authorities in various socio-economic fields in the city to subordinate levels.

The measure is a crucial solution to simplify the internal process of carrying out administrative procedures.
