Pilot projects to consolidate the registration of land-use rights to one office in each province has been given the thumbs up.

Previously registrations were handled in a myriad offices at the commune level.

One office in each province, and major city outside the provinces, will have branches in their local areas with full functions to issue registrations, land-use rights certificates and displacement registrations.

The pilots will be carried out in Hai Phong and Da Nang cities and Dong Nai and Ha Nam provinces till the end of December next year.-VNA
