Auction activities still suffer from the problem of "dummy bidders" and "collusion."

According to the conference's assessment, in 2017, the province's judicial work was implemented comprehensively, with a focus on key areas, achieving many results in all fields. The work of drafting, appraising, reviewing, and inspecting legal documents was carried out systematically, orderly, and gradually in-depth. State management of judicial support services was strengthened, and judicial administration work became increasingly high-quality, meeting the needs of the people in issuing criminal record certificates and effectively implementing the Law on Civil Status.
To date, the implementation of civil registration software in general, and the issuance of personal identification books in particular, in the province has gradually become more systematic, thorough, and effective. This is considered a success in the state management advisory work of the sector, creating a breakthrough that contributes to strong administrative procedure reform, making it more convenient for individuals and organizations requesting civil registration, in the work of statistics, reporting, classification, monitoring, and guiding tasks for local units.

As of December 31, 2017, 97,004 civil registration cases had been processed through the shared software system in the province. This included 59,779 birth registrations and issuance of personal identification numbers (accounting for 61.63%); 11,785 marriage registrations (accounting for 12.15%); 8,653 death registrations (accounting for 8.92%); and 16,787 other civil registration cases (accounting for 17.3%).
However, alongside the achievements, the report also points out that judicial work still has many limitations. In particular, the auction process still suffers from collusion, price manipulation, and the presence of auction brokers. Some auctions are experiencing legal violations, causing disruption to local political security and order. Inspection and supervision work remains overlapping, creating difficulties for local authorities; the implementation and monitoring of law enforcement are slow due to unclear and untimely inter-agency coordination, etc.
