At present, when applicants intend to register acompany, or companies plans to invest a project,instead of going to many related governmentdepartments to gain approvals, they canjust take a one-stop trip to the center and geteverything done at one time.

There are 160windows and 66 examination approval roomsaltogether. 85 city-level government departmentsas well as their auxiliary service units arestationed in the center now. They all adopt arule to examine applications on the spot andgive feedback within a time limit.

The adjustment of the government functionshas greatly improved the examination and approvalefficiency. At present, among all the 852items that need approval from governmentdepartments, 90 items that need approvalfrom auxiliary units and 22 certifications thatneed annual check-up, 95 percent of the applicationscan be dealt with in one place and 90percent are approved on the spot. As a result,the overall examination and approval efficiencyis raised by 55.6 percent.

For Tianjin residents who need service athome, they can dial 24-hour hotline 88908890or log on the website of the service center toget access to the service they need. It is also apart of the function of the service center.
