To operate a lottery betting shop, according to Taiwan lottery regulations, you must provide a "police criminal record certificate" (commonly known as a good citizen certificate). Therefore, since the beginning of this year, the number of people applying for a good citizen certificate at the police station has increased sharply.

According to statistics from the Liudu Police Department, the number of applications in January and February this year was as high as 139,000, an increase of about 32% over the same period last year.

Draw once every 10 years Existing betting outlets have no priority protection

Public welfare lottery dealers draw lots once every ten years. Existing betting shop operators do not have "priority protection". By the age of 18, the Ministry of Finance estimates that there are about 2 million people who are eligible, and the competition is quite fierce.

The deadline for dealer selection and registration is April 7. Police departments in counties and cities expect that there will be more people applying for good citizenship certificates from the end of March to the beginning of April. Taking Taoyuan City as an example, the number of applications from March to now is approaching 20,000 pieces, about 20,000 pieces in a single month in previous years.

According to statistics from the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, the last time a public welfare lottery computer-based lottery dealer applied for distribution rights was in 2013, and a total of 368,104 applications for "good citizen certificates" were accepted that year.

According to statistics over the years, the demand for Chinese people to apply for good citizenship certificates has been increasing year by year. There were 892,588 cases nationwide last year.

Age drops to 18 and around 2 million people are eligible

The Police Department explained that the public can apply to the police stations of various counties and cities through the Internet, at the counter, by mail or by fax. As a result, the number of applications for good citizenship certificates has increased significantly compared with previous years.

Those without a criminal record can get it in about two to three working days. Those with a criminal record need more than three days to obtain the certificate because of the need to review the information.

Li Fuyu, head of the foreign affairs section of the Taichung City Police Department, pointed out that those who have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for a crime will be recorded in the police criminal record certificate.

However, if you are only sentenced to criminal detention or a fine (such as accidentally hitting someone, you will be sentenced to 20 days of criminal detention), or civil disputes or violations of administrative penalties (such as driving through a red light), there will be no records.

In order to apply for a police criminal record certificate, the public lined up in order at the Foreign Affairs Division of the Taoyuan City Government Police Station.
