Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung has urged ministries, sectors and localities to double efforts to accelerate cadastral mapping, land registration and the development of a comprehensive national land database in 2026, aiming to enhance market transparency and promote digital transformation, according to a report from the Government News.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment was quoted by the News as reporting that  Vietnam currently has around 106 million land plots nationwide. Of these, data for 23.5 million plots have been reviewed, updated and standardized to ensure they are "accurate, sufficient, clean and live."

Around 38.9 million plots already have data but remain incomplete, requiring further cleaning, supplementation and verification, while the remaining 43.2 million plots have yet to be incorporated into the database.

In total, approximately 82.1 million land plots, equivalent to 77.5 percent of the total, still require data cleaning, information completion and database development.

To achieve the target of finalizing measurement, statistics, digitalization and data standardization nationwide, while ensuring seamless connectivity with other national database systems, the Government has assigned ministries, sectors and local authorities a number of key tasks and deadlines for 2026.

Under the plan, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security and relevant agencies, is tasked with guiding localities to complete the campaign on enriching and cleaning the national land database by March 2026.

Localities have been requested to mobilize all available resources to complete cadastral mapping and land records. The construction of land databases must also be finalized and fully integrated into the national system for unified management, operation and exploitation by December 2026.
