Karaoke service businesses may only need to submit applications on the national public service portal.

Previously, administrative procedures related to karaoke business were regulated in different legal documents and implemented separately at different agencies.

The draft Decree on integrated procedures for registering business households, applying for certificates of eligibility for security and order, and granting karaoke business licenses (which has just been submitted to the Ministry of Justice for review) clearly stipulates the scope, subjects of application, and principles to ensure that this process is convenient, effective, and legally valid.

Specifically, this draft Decree stipulates the implementation of electronic interconnection for three administrative procedures (AP) directly related to the establishment and operation of a karaoke service business establishment, including: establishing a business household; granting a certificate of eligibility for security and order; and granting a license for eligibility to conduct karaoke service business.

The results of the settlement of the electronic inter-connected administrative procedure group are automatically shared by the system to complete the dossier sent to the competent authority for settlement. The information in the electronic declaration already available in the national population database, the national database on business registration or related information systems will be automatically filled in by the inter-connected public service software. The electronic dossier and form of each procedure will be automatically separated by the inter-connected public service software to be transferred to the competent authorities for settlement.

The draft clearly states that the implementation of electronic interconnected administrative procedures has the same legal value as other forms as prescribed by law.

Compared to current laws, this electronic connection helps to remove many obstacles and bring significant benefits. Previously, administrative procedures related to karaoke business were regulated in different legal documents and implemented separately at different agencies (Finance, Police, Culture) or connected by paper documents, causing a lot of time, cost and paperwork, causing inconvenience to organizations and individuals.

Electronic interconnection will allow people and businesses to submit documents at a single point on the national public service portal; creating a legal basis for interconnecting the settlement of administrative procedures in the electronic environment, ensuring consistency, efficiency and transparency. At the same time, increasing the application of information technology will promote data sharing and exploitation among agencies in the direction of "one-stop shop", "one-time provision, many-time use".

The regulation also adapts to the 2-level local government model, according to which from July 1, 2025, the 2-level local government (province and commune) will officially operate, promoting the decentralization of authority to grant licenses for karaoke business eligibility from the district level (previously) to the commune level. Electronic interconnection is necessary to ensure a synchronous, smooth, and effective legal corridor nationwide, supporting the new local government model.
