Neijiang City Publishes List of Administrative and Public Service Items for 2024
Foreign founders operating or planning to register a company in China often need to navigate local administrative processes. A recent notice from Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, provides updated information on the administrative approvals and public services that require applications. The notice, issued by the Municipal Government Service Bureau, announces the publication of a consolidated list of such items at the city level.
What the Notice Says
According to the notice, the Municipal Government Service Bureau has organized and reviewed the list of administrative power items and public service items that require applications (依申请类) at the Neijiang city level. After soliciting opinions from relevant departments and conducting verification, the bureau has formed the “List of Administrative Power Items and Public Service Items Requiring Applications at the Neijiang City Level” (内江市本级依申请类行政权力事项及公共服务事项清单). The list has been distributed to relevant municipal departments with instructions to implement it seriously.
The notice is dated December 19, 2023, and was issued by the Office of the Coordination Group for Advancing Government Function Transformation and the “Streamlining Administration, Delegating Powers, Improving Services” Reform (放管服改革) in Neijiang City, acting on behalf of the seal. The document number is Municipal Government Service Bureau [2023] No. 7, and it takes the form of a notice. The notice is currently valid.
Why This Matters for Foreign Founders
For foreign entrepreneurs, understanding which administrative approvals and public services require an application is essential for compliance and efficient operations. The published list serves as a reference for businesses to know what procedures they may need to follow when interacting with local government authorities. Although the notice is addressed to municipal departments, it indirectly affects companies by clarifying the scope of items that require application.
The notice is part of broader efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of approval services in Neijiang. By consolidating and publishing the list, the government aims to enhance transparency and standardize procedures. Foreign founders should be aware that local governments in China periodically update such lists to reflect changes in administrative requirements.

Practical Implications for Company Registration and Operations
When registering a company in Neijiang or other Chinese cities, foreign founders typically need to engage with various administrative approvals, such as business registration, tax registration, and social insurance enrollment. The published list helps identify which items require formal applications. However, the notice itself does not provide the detailed list; it only announces its formation and distribution. Foreign founders should consult the actual list or seek professional advice to understand specific requirements.
It is important to note that administrative procedures can vary by region and industry. The notice focuses on Neijiang city-level items, and foreign founders should verify whether their business activities fall under these items. Additionally, the notice emphasizes the importance of implementing the list seriously, indicating that local departments are expected to follow the consolidated list in their operations.
Background on Administrative Reform

Neijiang City’s efforts to compile and publish this list align with national initiatives to make administrative processes more transparent and efficient. For foreign founders, such reforms can lead to more predictable and streamlined procedures, but it is always advisable to stay informed about local requirements.

Foreign founders should consider the following steps:
- Review the list: Obtain the actual list (if available) to identify which administrative approvals and public services require applications. This can help in planning for necessary permits or registrations.
- Consult local authorities: When in doubt, contact the Neijiang Municipal Government Service Bureau or relevant departments for clarification on specific procedures.
