Proposal to collect 300,000 VND fee for granting real estate brokerage certificate

The Ministry of Finance said that the issuance of the Circular regulating the collection levels, collection and payment regime of fees for granting and re-granting Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificates aims to ensure consistency and uniformity with the law on real estate business, the law on fees, charges and the state budget.

The Ministry of Finance said that the Ministry of Construction provided information that the cost to issue a certificate is 307,991 VND/application for an individual.

The fee level proposed by the Ministry of Construction (VND 300,000/certificate for new issuance and VND 200,000/certificate for re-issuance) is equivalent to the fee level for issuing practice certificates in other fields that have been issued recently. For example: Issuing practice certificates for archiving: VND 300,000/certificate; re-issuing practice certificates for archiving: VND 200,000/certificate.

According to Article 9 of the Law on Fees and Charges, the fee collection level is not intended to offset costs.

Therefore, based on the proposal of the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Finance estimates the fee for granting and re-granting Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificates as follows:

Real estate brokerage practice certificate: 300,000 VND/certificate.

Re-issuance of Real Estate Brokerage Certificate: VND 200,000/certificate.

In case of re-issuance of Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificate due to the fault of a state agency or due to change of administrative unit boundaries according to regulations of competent authorities, it is not required to pay the fee for re-issuance of Real Estate Brokerage Practice Certificate according to the provisions of this Circular.

The issuance of this circular will contribute to perfecting the legal basis, facilitating individuals in the process of granting and re-granting real estate brokerage practice certificates, and at the same time supporting transparent and unified management of fee collection and payment nationwide.

According to the Ministry of Finance, Circular No. 74/2022 is regulating the form, time limit for collection, payment and declaration of fees and charges under its authority. However, when the State Budget Law 2025 takes effect from January 1, 2026, some contents between this Circular and the new law will no longer be consistent.

To ensure legality and uniform application, the Ministry of Finance plans to include all provisions of Circular 74/2022 in the decree replacing Decree 120 and Decree 82, and will abolish Circular 74.

In recent years, along with the increasingly "hot" development of the real estate market, the role of real estate brokers is increasingly appreciated, with increasingly strict requirements.

According to the Vietnam Association of Realtors (VARS), out of more than 300,000 brokers practicing in the real estate sector, only about 40,000 brokers have been granted practice certificates by the authorities.
