German term or phrase: Behördengang
" Modernisierung der Verwaltung – der Wandel von klassischen Behördengängen hin zu zeitgerechtem E-Government."
Leo Forum gibt dies als österreichisch an.
Dict.cc gibt "visit to the authorities" und LeoForum "official errand" an. Ich denke, dass auch mein "visit to a government agency" ist nicht sehr genau.

Hat Jemand einen besseren Begriff?

"government offices" is a good choice. I like it better than my "government agencies". And I think "visit" is better than "dealing with". Kim's references were a great help in making my decision Many thanks to both of you.
