If a House Is Sold, Will the Old Permanent Residence Registration Be Deleted?

According to Article 24 of the 2020 Law on Residence, individuals falling under one of the following cases will have their permanent residence registration deleted, including:

- Deceased; declared missing or dead by a court decision;

- To settle abroad;

- A decision to cancel the permanent residence registration as stipulated in Article 35 of this Law has been issued;

- The person who has registered for permanent residence at a rented, borrowed, or hosted place but has terminated the renting, borrowing, or hosting arrangement for 12 months from the date of termination and has yet to register a new permanent residence, except for the case specified at point h of this provision;

…

- The person who has registered for permanent residence at a rented, borrowed, or hosted place but has terminated the renting, borrowing, or hosting arrangement and is not consented by the lessor, lender, or host to retain the permanent residence registration at that location; the person who has registered for permanent residence at a place owned by themselves but has transferred the ownership of the place to another person and is not consented by the new owner to retain the permanent residence registration at that location;

As such, based on the above regulations, in the case of selling the house, you will have your permanent residence registration deleted. In the case where there are many documents that have not yet been converted or for personal reasons still want to retain the permanent residence registration at the old house, it must be permitted by the new house owner.

Sincerely!
