Contract for Transfer of Land Use Rights Must Be Notarized to Be Effective?

Pursuant to Point a, Clause 3, Article 167 of the Land Law 2013, which stipulates the rights to transfer, lease, sublease, inherit, donate, mortgage, and contribute capital using land use rights as follows:

- The notarization and certification of contracts and documents in the exercise of land use rights shall be carried out as follows:

- Contracts for the transfer, donation, mortgage, or contribution of capital using land use rights, land use rights, and assets attached to the land must be notarized or certified, except for cases of real estate business as stipulated in Point b of this clause.

Therefore, according to the aforementioned regulations, for land use rights transfer contracts, you can have them certified at the local People's Committee of the commune without the need for notarization. Additionally, this certification does not affect its legal validity.

Sincerely!
