On the morning of March 3, the provincial Administrative Service Centre saw a considerable number of citizens coming in to handle administrative procedures, mainly those related to driving license renewal. Senior Lieutenant Colonel Dinh Thi Thu Hang, deputy head of the Traffic Police Division, stated that immediately after receiving the task of driving license renewal and testing from the former Department of Transport, now part of the Department of Construction, a driving license testing and renewal team was established under the Traffic Police Division.

They quickly started processing applications for driving license renewals for local residents. Although March 3 was the first official working day of the month, to ensure that administrative procedures were not disrupted, the division began processing driving license renewals starting March 1, immediately following the handover from the Department of Construction on February 28. While using the software to perform this task, they have worked closely with the relevant authorities and software providers to ensure the process is as convenient as possible for the public.

Along with the provincial Department of Public Security's service counter, new service counters for various newly established departments at the provincial Administrative Service Centre were also fully staffed to assist citizens with their administrative procedures, ensuring a seamless and continuous process.

The provincial Department of Ethnic and Religious Affairs was formed based on the responsibilities of the former Committee for Ethnic Affairs and took over the state management of religious affairs from the provincial Department of Home Affairs. Shortly after its establishment, the Department of Ethnic and Religious Affairs successfully organised its structure, including seven professional divisions and subordinate units. All units are now fully staffed, with workspaces arranged, and operations have commenced.

The new Department of Finance was also formed by merging the Department of Planning and Investment with the old Department of Finance. Following the provincial People's Committee's guidance, the department quickly stabilised its structure post-merger, appropriately allocated personnel, and started working according to the new organisational framework. The department’s leadership has also directed employees to adhere to the new regulations on functions, tasks, and powers following the merger. Additionally, the use of seals and the implementation of administrative procedures under the new structure have been carried out quickly, ensuring that the specialised tasks of various divisions and units are not affected.

According to Resolution No. 499/NQ-HDND, dated February 6, 2025, of the provincial People's Council on the establishment and reorganisation of specialised agencies under the provincial, after the restructuring, the provincial People's Committee has 13 specialised agencies which officially began operating on March 1.
