  "account": "The Vietnamese government is set to integrate electronic land-use right certificates into the VNeID system, with the ultimate goal of replacing the traditional \"red books\" that are currently used in paper form. Deputy Director Mai Van Phan of the Department of Land Administration under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment announced this change on September 16. The nation's land database, which already contains more than 68 million land parcels, will serve as the foundation for this transition.\n\nThe Department of Land Administration has drafted an electronic template for certificates of land-use rights and ownership of assets, which will be integrated into the VNeID. However, before these electronic certificates can be implemented, the Land Law will need to be amended to establish their legal validity. It is also crucial to ensure that both paper and electronic certificates hold the same legal status.\n\nThe Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will provide ongoing guidance and supervision to localities as they complete the national land database. As of now, 47.7 million parcels, or approximately 70%, of the land parcels in the database meet the stringent criteria of being \"accurate, complete, clean, and up-to-date.\" The ministry aims to achieve the target of at least 80% of land records meeting these criteria by the end of 2026, which is considered both feasible and potentially achievable.",
