HA NOI (Biz Hub)  — Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh has released Circular No 05/2016/TT-BCT regarding the ministry's online public services.

The online services aim to speed the ministry's administrative procedural reforms, including improving processing of paper work, as part of the development of e-Government.

The ministry has been working to put in place document management software. Under the circular, all of the ministry's public services would be carried out online, while gradually upgrading services at the local level, based upon the existing infrastructure of information and technology systems.

The services are provided at http://moit.gov.vn for those who create an account, filling administrative applications to receive online public services, handling applications and returning results.

Individuals and organisations will be asked to provide information on names, tax codes, email addresses, investment certificates and business registration, to register for an account in the website.

Also, the ministry's Viet Nam E-commerce and Information Technology Agency will co-operate with other agencies to approve applications for accounts after one working day.

The circular takes effect on July 20th. — VNS
