Xi'an High-tech Industries Development Zone Issued the First Business License
under "Cross-Provincial General Office"

A company in Xi'an wants to set up a branch in Lanzhou. Can it apply for the business license in Xi'an? The answer is yes. Recently in Xi'an, Ms. Liu applied for the business license of her company's Lanzhou branch at the XDZ Comprehensive Service Hall of Xi'an High-tech Zone, and successfully obtained the license in only 3 days.

It is said that, in order to thoroughly implement the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion of "Cross-Provincial General Office" of Government Services from the General Office of the State Council, on November 19 this year, the examination and approval service management bodies of capitals of six provinces along the Yellow River Basin, namely Xi'an, Jinan, Taiyuan, Hohhot, Zhengzhou, Lanzhou and Yinchuan, formally signed the Cooperation Agreement on Ecological Protection and High-Quality Development of Examination and Approval Service Alliance in the Yellow River Basin. From this onwards,  commercial registrations among the six provincial capitals have officially entered the new era of "Cross-Provincial General Office". Applicants can apply online in a fully digital mode, or physically in any government service hall of the allied cities. The registration authority who accepts the application or acts as an agent will contact the counterpart of the actual location of the enterprise in time, mail relevant materials, and help with remote license examination and issuance.

As said, XDZ has efficiently promoted the registration system under "Cross-Provincial General Office" since the six provincial capitals implemented the cooperation mechanism. XDZ set up a service window dedicated to "Cross-Provincial Office" on the second floor of its comprehensive service hall and provided special training to the staff of the window. Furthermore, it sorted out the business scope of "Cross-Provincial Office" and determined its first application to high-frequency business matters such as company registration. Meanwhile, XDZ also specified the operation mode of "Cross-Provincial Office". The mechanism features the fully digital process with the special service window being a supporting character while integrated with offices of other allied cities to ensure the implementation of measures of "Cross-Provincial Office".

The implementation of "Cross-Provincial Office" breaks the time and physical restrictions and provides diversified, three-dimensional and all-around registration services for enterprises. It also effectively reduces the operating costs of enterprises and boosts market vitality. (Peng Changdi Correspondent Yang Hao Lu Wei)
