Cases when children can be named on the Red Book

In Vietnam, children can be named on the Certificate of Land Use Rights (the Red Book) in two main scenarios:

1. Land Donation from Parents:

Under Article 459 of the 2015 Civil Code, parents can donate land to their children through a written contract, notarized or authenticated according to the law. The contract must specify the land’s details and the transfer of ownership from parents to children without compensation.

2. Land Inheritance:

Based on Article 613 of the 2015 Civil Code, an heir is an individual alive at the time of inheritance or conceived before the testator’s death. Children, therefore, have the right to inherit land regardless of their age.
