As long as you obtained the application materials and signed the filing commitment, you can get the license right away. The Administrative Examination and Approval Bureau has improved the efficiency and saved time for enterprises through canceling examination and approval, filing instead of registering, notifying, and optimizing access services. As of the end of October, a total of 652 reform-related issues have been handled by the Administrative Examination and Approval Bureau this year.
