Changzhou makes strides in implementing notification-commitment system

(en.moj.gov.cn)| Updated: 2021-08-03

Changzhou in East China's Jiangsu province has applied the system of notification-commitment to over 11,800 cases since it started piloting it in 2019.

To carry on the campaign of reducing administrative certificates for public convenience, the city released a list of 52 certification items to which the system is applicable earlier this year, marking the beginning of the system's city-wide implementation. 

The listed items involve the work of 31 administrative authorities at city, district and township levels, and relate to issues in such areas as education, human resources and social security, health, medical care, transportation and judicial administration.

The city also held training sessions on related workflow, standard format of the commitment letter, date sharing and the building of a credit system to ensure the quality of the implementation.

Changzhou's education bureau, for instance, became the first in Jiangsu to apply the system to the certification of teacher's qualification. During the process, it scrutinized the personal information of all the 4,338 applicants across the city, and added their credit status into their personal credit records.

After adopting the system, the city's civil affair bureau allows the public to apply for certain certification items without submitting all the necessary materials at one time. So far, the authority has handled more than 1,600 cases in this way, significantly shortening the time needed.

To make the public avoid running from pillar to post for certificates, the government of Changzhou has implemented the system to ensure that companies in the human resources service industry can obtain all the licenses necessary for their business operation in just one visit to its service hall. 

As an example, it took a startup in the industry only 20 minutes to get a key license for business running which would have cost it about 10 workdays to obtain without the system.

With the help of the system, residents in the city who are covered by social security can also enjoy real-time settlement of the expense on their pre-pregnancy physical examination at hospitals.
