Allowing citizens and organizations to carry out administrative procedures at any locality within the province, without being limited by place of residence or registration, represents a breakthrough in administrative reform. This policy enables citizens to proactively choose the most convenient location to complete procedures, reduces pressure on administrative agencies in densely populated areas, while saving time and travel costs and increasing flexibility in accessing public services.

This is also a step to realize the two-tier local government model, with the principle "the level closest to the people should be assigned to handle the work", thereby contributing to limiting overlapping situations, prolonged processing times and negative developments in the administrative procedure resolution process.
