Legal analysis: Homestead is distributed by family. In theory, it is possible to register the names of any family member. However, in order to maintain the consistency of the work of various departments, the state still allows the registration of the name of the head of household, but it is not necessary to synchronize, that is, to apply for a certificate first, and then it is not necessary to change the head of household immediately. At this point, the name on the certificate is not the name of the head of the household.

Legal basis: Article 62 of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, rural villagers can only own one homestead, and the area of the homestead shall not exceed the standards set by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

Rural villagers should build houses in accordance with the overall land use planning of townships (towns), and try their best to make use of the original homestead in the village.

Rural villagers' residential land shall be audited by the township (town) people's government and reported to the county-level people's government for approval; Among them, those involving the occupation of agricultural land shall go through the examination and approval procedures in accordance with the provisions of Article 44 of this Law.

Rural villagers who apply for homestead after selling or renting houses shall not be approved.
