Stepan Kubiv: CASPs are now authorized to issue driver's licence and register marriage
Today, October
11, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine supported an initiative of the Ministry
of Economic Development and Trade to extend the list of administrative services
provided to citizens of Ukraine at the one-stop-shop centers for administrative
services provision (CASP).
First and
foremost, the Cabinet of Ministers ordinance streamlines current laws and
regulations in line with the four new laws of Ukraine approved by the Verkhovna
Rada. These laws are mainly aimed at decentralizing the powers of executive
authorities to provide administrative services.
Thus, the CASPs are now authorized to:
|
issue a driver's license (as agreed upon by local authorities with
the Ministry of Internal Affairs); conduct state re-registration (re-registration, removal from the
registry) of vehicles (as agreed upon by local authorities with the Ministry
of Internal Affairs); register civil status acts (as agreed upon
by local authorities with the Ministry of Justice); issue a permit for the employment of foreigners (without agreement); provide social services
(on the proposition of Andrii Reva,
Minister of Social Policy). "I urge the local authorities to ensure
as soon as possible the provision of the aforesaid services in the ASCs of
their region. At the same time, I believe that the Ministry of Justice and
the Ministry of Internal Affairs will smoothly provide the centers of all
regions with authority to issue these documents. I emphasize: the maximum quantity
of administrative services should be offered according to the one-stop-shop
principle. People must obtain fast and high quality service instead of knocking
on each door while visiting local authorities", stressed First Vice
Prime Minister Stepan Kubiv. Ministry of Economic Development and Trade
of Ukraine recommends centers for administrative
services provision to provide 106 administrative services. It should be noted
that the Ministry engages in work on introduction of a single service standard
in all the Centers. The mentioned standards, for example, include service provision
procedure lasting 15 minutes from the moment when a client enters the office
and until the service provision is completed. |
