What I don't get is why everyone is on this office=government and
government=* tag, when even in your proposal most of the stuff that
would fall under civic_admin is currently just tagged as amenity.
I mean I would not have an issue with a government= tag, but then we
would have to be consistent and long term stuff like amenity=townhall
should be government=townhall.
And the biggest issue as already mentioned a bit further down in the
discussion is that there often is no clear line you can draw. In some
countries a service is run by the government, in others it's not and
sometimes that's even the case within a country.

I think there is still an umbrella it can fit under, saying it is related to
cars and licensing.
A place that registers your car and a place that licenses you for driving may
be a different facility (or combo), but the government office(s) that handles
that can at least have some kind of tag to get put in some kind of group.
government=motor_vehicle_admin
or civic_admin=motor_vehicle
We don’t assume the government is selling cars or car parts, and administration
isn’t related to enforcement (tickets/impound), sales, nor maintenance, so it
isn’t so ambiguous.
and the name will tell the locals the rest. (Liscence Center, Automobile
Registration center, Dept of Motor Vehecles, etc)
Unless we want to get into the same subcategory system that shop=* should have,
and we start documenting specific government facilities (which I wanted to do
with civic_admin and landuse=civic).
