office=immigration ? <br>
<br>
There is already office=government ... but no sub tags! and the
document for office=administrative suggest that office=government
is for state government things. This is an American view.. the
British do not do this - they have a 'central government' <a

Perhaps <br>
office=government<br>
government=immigration ? <br>
<br>
or <br>
government:immigration=yes <br>
would be better where the office functions are combined..<br>
government:passport=yes <br>
government:vehicle_licence=yes<br>
etc... <br>
<br>
The office=government is under represented in the OSM data base ..
perhaps because there are no sub tags to further identify what it
is used for. <br>

I have 'synced' the wiki page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dgovernment">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dgovernment</a> with the
Russian source page. <br>
It now reflects the use of the sub tag government= as documented on
the Russian page. <br>
<br>
I have also added some words to the wiki page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dadministrative">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dadministrative</a> to
better reflect its relation to office=government. <br>
<br>
Any errors are mine. Thoughts? <br>
