The “red book,” a term that refers to the Land Use Rights Certificate, is easily identifiable by its distinct color. This official document certifies an individual’s or group’s legal right to utilize a specific plot of land. But how many people can be listed on this certificate, and what is the process for multiple individuals to be included? These are the questions we aim to explore and answer in this informative article.
1 Understanding the Number of People Allowed on a Red Book
As outlined in Clause 2, Article 98 of the 2013 Land Law, which details the principles of granting Certificates of Land Use Rights, there is flexibility in the number of people who can be listed on the certificate.
Specifically, the clause states: “For a plot of land with multiple owners or individuals who share common rights to use the land and own the house and other assets attached to it, the Certificate of Land Use Rights, Ownership of Housing and Other Assets must include the full names of all individuals with these common rights. Each individual co-owner will be granted their own certificate. Alternatively, if the owners collectively request, a single, consolidated certificate can be issued and given to a chosen representative of the group.”
Certificate of Land Use Rights, Ownership of Housing, and Other Assets Attached to Land
To summarize, there is no set limit to the number of people who can be listed on the Red Book as long as they all share equal rights to the land and its associated assets.
Important Note: Familiarizing yourself with the legal regulations and procedures surrounding the granting of red books is essential to prevent potential disputes and to protect your rights as a landowner or co-owner.

2 Scenarios for Including Two People on a Red Book
Scenario 1: Legally Married Couples
According to Clause 1, Article 34 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family, when a married couple jointly owns assets, and if the law requires registration of ownership or land use rights, both spouses’ names must be included on the certificate of ownership or land use rights unless they mutually agree otherwise.
Legally married couples can be jointly listed as co-owners on a red book
Note: According to Clause 4, Article 98 of the 2013 Land Law and Clause 2, Article 12 of Decree No. 126/2014/ND-CP, spouses have the right to request the competent authority to reissue the red book if they wish to change the number of names listed, either from one to two or vice versa.
Scenario 2: Unmarried Individuals with Joint Ownership
Both individuals in this scenario have equal rights to the land and its assets, and any decisions require mutual agreement.
In this scenario, two individuals who are not married but have jointly purchased a plot of land, or who have jointly inherited or received it as a gift, etc., will both have equal rights to use the land. Any decisions regarding the land and the assets attached to it must be made with the agreement of both parties.
Notes:
– If the two individuals wish to have separate red books, each person will be granted their own certificate with their name on it.
– Alternatively, if they prefer a joint certificate, a single red book will be issued and given to a representative chosen by the group.
