I tend to disagree. The details might be different what you can expect at a certain kind of office but that doesn't imply that we have to use different values.
e.g a tag like
public_office=vehicle_registration could mean DMV in California and RMV in Massachusetts.

or vehicle_registration=yes etc.

Generally we should avoid abbreviations.
