Government Service Agencies

Government Service Agencies

Government service agencies refer to the service centers and convenient service outlets in the communities, which are set up by the people's governments at various levels to provide government services highly needed by natural persons, legal entities, and non-legal entities.

Government services may be either matters related to administrative powers or public services. The former include administrative permits, confirmations, rulings, payments, rewards, and records. The latter include education, employment, social insurance, medical and health services, elderly care, social services, housing, culture, sports, and services to people with disabilities.

To make their services more accessible, these agencies are required to improve their procedures, reduce the materials required, shorten the time of approval, and cut people's cost in handling relevant matters.
