According to calculations by the Department of Administrative Procedure Control, when implementing level 3 online public services for driver's license exchange procedures, the total minimum cost saved is more than 740 billion VND.
This includes the cost savings from not having to travel to the local driver's license issuing authority to submit documents, take photos, receive results, and reduce the cost of preparing documents and papers.
When implementing level 4 public services in the second quarter of 2020, allowing individuals to complete the entire process of handling documents online, it will save at least 1.5 days with an amount of 323.9 billion VND. This helps the total minimum cost saved when implementing level 4 online public services to be 1,064 billion VND.
According to the report of the Vietnam Road Administration, the total number of international driving licenses issued by the Administration in 2018 was 7,503. Level 4 online public services help individuals save at least 1 day of travel to submit documents, receive results (4 trips back and forth) and the cost of preparing documents and papers as required by the procedure, saving 2.57 billion VND/year.
Minister and Head of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung said that public services from ministries, branches and localities will be integrated into the portal with the spirit of creating transparency and saving time and costs for people and businesses in the best way.
People and businesses only need to access the single address dichvucong.gov.vn, with a single account to log in to all public service portals at the ministry and provincial levels to perform online public services.
The implementation of online public services by citizens and businesses will no longer depend on time or administrative boundaries.
For example, a person born in Ho Chi Minh City, who was granted a driver's license by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport but is living in Hanoi, will not have to return to Ho Chi Minh City but access the national public service portal to complete the procedure of choosing the Hanoi Department of Transport as the place to issue and renew the license.
