Currently, the names "Certificate of house ownership and land use rights" and "Certificate of land use rights" as per previous regulations have been consolidated under the name Certificate of land use rights, house ownership, and other land-attached assets.

However, since the public has become accustomed to the term "Sổ Hồng", the procedures for the Certificate of Land Use Rights, house ownership, and other land-attached assets are often referred to as the procedures for issuing a "Sổ Hồng".
