How it's used
This term implies a professional or formal arrangement where a third party is authorized to complete a task, such as paperwork or administrative procedures. It is distinct from simply helping someone out, as it carries a sense of official representation or service provision. You will frequently see this on signs for businesses that specialize in handling bureaucratic applications.
Examples
Do you need to find someone to handle the visa for you?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with幫手, which is a general term for helping. Use 代辦 only when referring to specific administrative or procedural tasks that require formal processing, rather than general favors or chores.
