Do I have to submit a land plot measurement extract when applying for a red book?
My brother is applying for a red book for the first time, but he said that the commune officials require a copy of the land measurement before they will accept the application. May I ask if this is true or false? The concern of Mr. Hoang Nghia Son (Dai Hue commune, Nghe An province).
Reply:According to the provisions of Section II, Point C, Part V, Appendix I of Decree 151/2025/ND-CP, this dossier component is not a mandatory document, but the People's Committee at the commune level must "Extract the cadastral map for places where there is a cadastral map".
For places where there is no cadastral map and "in the registration dossier, granting Certificate of land use rights, ownership of assets attached to land, there is a cadastral map excerpt, then check and sign to confirm the cadastral map excerpt according to regulations" and "in case the registration dossier, granting Certificate of land use rights, ownership of assets attached to land, there is no cadastral map excerpt, then request the surveying unit with a License for surveying activities, establishing cadastral maps to carry out the cadastral map excerpt".
Thus, the extracted cadastral map of the land plot is not always required and if required, it is not a mandatory component of the dossier. If available, the land user must submit it. If not, the People's Committee at the commune level is responsible for requesting the surveying unit with a License for surveying activities and establishing cadastral maps to carry out the extraction of that cadastral map.
