Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Marriage Registration Management Office of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau that the bureau has launched the "Shanghai Marriage Registration Office Standardization Construction Window Unit Evaluation Standards" (hereinafter referred to as the "Standards"), which puts forward corresponding standards for the office space of the marriage registration office, the service standards of the marriage registration officer, and the management of marriage registration archives. It is worth mentioning that the "Standards" also mention that "the divorce registration room should have privacy".
Regarding this, Zhou Jixiang, the director of the Shanghai Marriage Registration Management Office, stated that the establishment of evaluation standards is to make the services of marriage registration agencies more humane. "The privacy of the divorce registration room is to provide a separate space for couples who come to handle it, and to separate it from the marriage room, archives room, certificate issuing room, and rest (waiting) room to protect their privacy. More importantly, marriage registration officers can provide one-on-one services for couples who come to handle divorce procedures
This type of service includes communicating with them and fully explaining the content of the divorce registration notice to them, helping the parties understand legal provisions, avoiding conflicts and disputes, "Zhou Jixiang added." Especially for some couples who are impulsive divorces, such humanized services are very necessary
Zhou Jixiang stated that the hardware standards for marriage registration agencies, such as having a total office area of over 200 square meters, prominently displaying information, divorce registration, and marriage (paid) services, have been basically achieved in the 20 districts and counties of Shanghai. The training for marriage registration officers is also conducted every year, including legal and regulatory training, behavioral etiquette, and marriage psychology. Any marriage registration agency that meets the standards will be named "Shanghai Marriage Registration Agency Standardization Construction Window Unit" by the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau at the end of September.
