Tianjin Indemnificatory Housing Construction and Investment Co., Ltd., the Municipality’s first affordable housing investment and financing company, applied for license from the joint approval work mechanism known as the “fast lane” under the Tianjin Administrative Permission Service Center. It took only three hours for the company to get registered, receiving the operation license, stamp, organization code card and tax registration card, etc. The whole procedure usually demands almost three month. The transformation in governmental functions is an important measure for Tianjin to elevate administration efficiency and improve investment-attracting mechanism.

At the present stage, when applicants intend to register a company, or companies plans to invest in a project, instead of going to many related government departments to gain approvals, they can just take a one-stop trip to Tianjin Administrative Permission Service Center and get everything looked through at one time. It used to take businessmen several days to get all the certificates they need. With the centralization of approval agencies and simplification of examination process, it is convenient for the businessmen who intend to invest in Tianjin to go through all the procedures.

In 2004, with the implementation of the country’s Administrative Permission Law, Tianjin decided to set up an administrative permission center in the city and county (district) level. With administration approval as backbone, the center concentrates on functions of administrative services. It is pinpointed to establish a unified body that can provide “one-stop” administrative permission service, a move that is well received by the public.

The Tianjin Administrative Permission Service Center has formed a unified managing system, consisting of four platforms known as “administrative approval, social service, resource allocation and effect supervision”, to deal with various administration approvals at the same time. The platform consists of four large halls, which are divided into 18 functional zones in accordance with their different functions. There are 160 windows and 66 examination rooms altogether. There are 85 city-level departments as well as their auxiliary service units stationed in the center. They all adopt a rule to examine applications on the spot and give feedback within a time limit.

For Tianjin residents who need service at home, they can dial 24-hour hotline 88908890 or log on the website of the service center to get access to the service they need. It is also a part of the functions that service center offers.

If applicants are unsatisfied with the efficiency of the administrative examination and approval process, they can lodge complaints on the spot, via telephone, letter or Internet. The Tianjin Administrative Efficiency Complaint Center can provide surveillance on government administrative efficiency. It has an online system that combines administrative examination and approval management and surveillance on the administrative efficiency together, which can safeguard a fair and transparent environment for administrative examination and approval.

Tianjin further streamlined and simplified very recently the items subject to administrative examination and approval. Some city-level departments granted the approval rights of some administrative items to some county (district) level counterparts. Also the examination time has been shortened substantially, with the efficiency elevated by more than 30 percent. People can lodge 40 percent of their applications and get them examined on the Internet, rather than the previous 20 percent. For some categories of applications, companies can get approved at the service center right on the spot, which save them a lot of trouble. All these measures have enhanced the examination efficiency, saved time and won wide appreciation from the public.

The Tianjin Administrative Permission Service Center constantly improves the “one-stop” approval mechanism, the associated examination system for investment projects and the approval mechanism within certain time frames. The efforts raise work efficiency substantially. The time frame for associated examinations for investment projects has been trimmed from the original 42 days to 31. The time limit for putting on records has decreased from 30 days to 25. The application service at one counter for enterprises has tremendously cut the examining time from the previous three months to less than 5 days.

The Tianjin Administrative Permission Service Center also gained fame nationwide. So far, 680 inspection groups from the brotherhood provinces have come to Tianjin and visited the center.
