A total of 20 Nanyang residents were invited to the city's government review and approval administrative center to personally experience how government services are improved by the "At Most One Visit" policy and online technology.

The participants include ordinary citizens, deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, representatives of entrepreneurs, and young volunteers.

They were divided into three groups and visited various government service windows in the public security service area and the business registration service area to get a close look at how reform benefits ordinary people in Nanyang.

"It took me just five minutes to get my temporary license plate. It's so fast", said a Nanyang local surnamed Liu. In the morning, Liu took his vehicle certificate, invoice, ID card, and insurance policy to apply for a temporary license, and he received it in just five minutes.

A businessman surnamed Cao had a similar reaction, saying that it took him just 10 minutes to complete all procedures related to renewing his business license.

According to Li Xianyang, manager of the business registration window, Nanyang's industry and commerce department has implemented a number of measures to provide greater convenience to people in the city. The move is in response to the city's call to cut red tape and promote online government service platforms. Over 50 Items requiring municipal government review can now be done with at most one visit to government offices.
