Description of required outcomes, timing of service delivery, office conditions, required fee or charge for Service (if it is not free), requirements for information User satisfaction
Cost per unit fees
Government goals achievement<br>

The Landscape of Quality of Public Services in Russia (assessed as good) 14 Issue and replacement of Russian Federation passports and other identity documents (5 million passports a year, over recent years, with receipt of passports and registration by place of residence, corruption has fallen from 33% to 23%)
Registration at place of residence and place of stay (4.4 million applications, time spent by applicant decreased by 2 times)<br>

Access to information and participation The indication of “comprehensiveness of information” amounts to 33% and “accessibility of information” does not exceed 53%
For the regions, comprehensiveness of information is rated as falling between 15% and 76%, while accessibility falls between 9% and 72%
There is no clear list of information with restricted access
Information is often unintelligible to the user
Involvement of representatives from civilian society in the work of advisory commissions and working groups is often purely formal in nature 17<br>
