Recently, the Department's leaders have had solutions to rectify the working style, manners and responsibilities of officials and civil servants to speed up the issuance process; decentralize the issuance and exchange of Land Use Right Certificates, and shorten the processing time for people.

The Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment informed that the Department is advising the Provincial People's Committee to issue regulations to replace old regulations to facilitate people in the issue of granting and exchanging Land Use Right Certificates.

Accordingly, the draft amendment to Decision 16 of the Provincial People's Committee will resolve many problems and difficulties of localities in the issue of granting and exchanging Land Use Right Certificates.

Specifically, the new regulation will decentralize the decision to issue and change Land Use Right Certificates to branch directors in districts, cities and towns. Second, it will handle the backlog of more than 11,900 cases of unauthorized issuance.

In addition, the draft aims to resolve existing problems, difficulties, and concerns in the work of granting and exchanging Land Use Right Certificates such as: land consolidation, plot division, etc.

Acknowledging the delegate's reflection that after merging the District and Town Land Registration Offices into the Provincial Land Registration Office under the one-level model, the time for granting and exchanging Land Use Right Certificates was slower, but the quality of documents was much improved.

Regarding the slow implementation of land surveying consulting units for granting and changing Land Certificates, the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that the Department assigned the specialized department to review the unqualified consulting units and propose the Provincial People's Committee to terminate the contract and propose the Provincial People's Committee to assign the Department's public service units to perform this work.

The Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment also requested that districts direct communes to coordinate with consulting units to increase responsibility in determining land origin.

Regarding the specific issue of granting Land Use Right Certificates to 48 cases in Dien Chau, the Director of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment affirmed that the Department will actively coordinate with Dien Chau district to speed up the progress of granting Land Use Right Certificates to people.
