From September 1st, Decree 326/2026/ND-CP, which regulates the identification of locations, comes into effect, stipulating the assignment of identification codes to 74 locations, including land parcels.

Each plot of land is assigned an identification code according to a set schedule.

According to Decree 326, each location, including land parcels, is assigned only one unique identification code, following a unified structure nationwide. Similar to the personal identification code of citizens, the location identification code is also a 12-digit natural number sequence established by the Location Identification Database.

However, not all land parcels will be simultaneously assigned identification codes starting from September 1st. Instead, from the effective date of Decree 326, the agencies assigned the authority and functions must implement the assignment of identification codes to land parcels according to a schedule. 

The decree specifies that ministries and ministerial-level agencies shall review, collect, and create data on objects requiring location identification, and synchronize this data with the Location Identification Database to issue codes. 

Accordingly, for land parcels that already have complete minimum information, ministries and ministerial-level agencies shall synchronize the local identification database to ensure implementation when the decree comes into effect. In cases where information is insufficient, relevant agencies must develop a roadmap for collecting, creating, supplementing, and synchronizing data.

The minimum information required includes: the identifying entity; the address of the location; coordinate information; and the agency responsible for managing the location data.

Thus, the synchronization and code assignment process is also linked to the completeness of the data for each land parcel.

The 12-digit identification code is used to look up land plot information on VNeID.

The identification code is a 12-digit natural number sequence established separately for each land parcel by the Location Identification Database, ensuring stability, scalability, and the ability to link, integrate, connect, share, and exploit information within the national database and specialized databases.

The database for identifying land parcels contains 16 related information fields. Citizens can only search and access publicly available data related to land parcel identification on VNeID. Non-public data cannot be searched or accessed. 

Organizations and individuals can access their information in the Location Identification Database through VNeID. The access and sharing of non-public data must comply with the law on personal data protection and the protection of state secrets.

For land parcels whose records are already included in the Location Identification Database , no further documentation will be required when carrying out related administrative procedures. 

According to Decree 326, there are 74 entities that will have to undergo location identification, encompassing various groups, specifically: land plots; security facilities; government office buildings; national satellite positioning stations; other structures; cave entrances; and transportation infrastructure (including 25 identified locations). 

Dike works (8); other technical infrastructure (7); waste treatment works (6); religious and belief works (4); border and boundary (4); cultural works (3); agricultural and forestry production facilities (3); water sources (3); still water surface (2); administrative boundary markers (2); other special objects arising.

Public and non-public data related to the land parcel.

Public data includes: location identifier, object type, address, access route, postal code, coordinates, operational or usage status, location name, identifying features, and address information of location components.

Non-public data includes: information on land use right certificates; information on structure; information on 3D spatial location; information on the agency, organization, or individual owning or using the property; and other information of the location identifier that is connected and shared from national databases and specialized databases.
