- Re-survey and re-measurement of areas and sizes of land parcels;

- Request for writing of full names of both husband and wife in the certificates, in case land use rights are or ownership of land-attached assets is common assets of husband and wife but the certificates only indicate the full name of either of them.

Besides, according to Clause 25 Article 1 of the Decree No. 148/2020/NĐ-CP of the Vietnam’s Government amending Clause 5 Article 78 of the Decree No. 43/2014/NĐ-CP, on order and procedures for exchanging agricultural land use rights of households and individuals for consolidation and swap of land parcels, when conducting consolidation and swap of land parcels, households and individuals using land submit application dossiers for Certificates.
