The “One-Stop Shop” Concept was developed and presented for the Registry Office in Kulyab, where new methods of work proposed to be piloted. The principle of working according to the “One-Stop Shop” method is to reduce the time spent on obtaining the necessary documents and make the work system more understandable, simple and at the same time convenient for the public.
The applicant submits one required set of documents in one place, in one form, in one service, to one specialist, and then the service independently carries out all the procedures for coordination and execution. The workspace will be divided into “front” and “back” offices. The front office provides interaction with applicants, the back office provides the entire process with the necessary documents.
