If the appointment number of the Civil Affairs Bureau is full, you can queue up. The Civil Affairs Bureau has opened an appointment service only to reduce the waiting time for new couples on the same day, so even if the appointment is full, they can still queue up on site. In some special days when the Civil Affairs Bureau also provides license collection services, such as Qixi Festival and Valentine's Day, the appointment number of the Civil Affairs Bureau is very popular, and it is easy to fill the appointment. If you go to the scene again, you may have to queue for a long time.
