(1) The issued certificate is stained, blurred, torn, or damaged;
(2) The certificate was issued jointly for multiple land plots, and separate certificates are now required for each plot according to the land user’s needs. This also includes the case of replacing the Certificate of Land Use Rights and Ownership of Assets Attached to Land as prescribed in Clause 7, Article 46 of Decree 101/2024/ND-CP;
(3) The purpose of land use stated on the issued certificate, in accordance with land law provisions at the time of issuance, differs from the purpose of land use as classified under Article 9 of the 2024 Land Law and detailed in the Government’s Decree guiding the implementation of several articles of the 2024 Land Law;
(4) The location of the land plot on the issued certificate is inaccurate compared to its actual location at the time of certificate issuance;
(5) The land use rights and ownership of assets attached to the land are jointly owned by the husband and wife, and the issued certificate only bears the name of either the husband or the wife. Now, there is a request to replace the certificate to include both the husband’s and wife’s names;
(6) The issued certificate bears the name of a household, and the household members with shared land use rights request a replacement certificate to include the names of all members with shared land use rights within the household;
(7) The address of the land plot on the issued certificate has changed;
