Gwangju Buk-gu to Conduct Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey Until March 20

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Gwangju Metropolitan City Buk-gu (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 9th that it will conduct a resident registration fact investigation to verify resident registration details and actual residence until March 20.

This resident registration fact investigation is conducted to improve the accuracy of resident registration and the convenience of residents' lives, and will be used as basic data for the preparation of the voter list for the 21st National Assembly election to be held on April 15.

The main investigation contents include ▲ verification of consistency between resident registration details and actual residence ▲ investigation of those who have moved residence but have not reported ▲ verification of residence and survival status of persons suspected of death as queried in the Ministry of Health and Welfare hub system ▲ investigation of long-term absentees and school-age children not enrolled as requested by educational institutions.

The investigation will be conducted by a joint investigation team composed of public officials in charge of each neighborhood and community leaders, who will directly visit all households registered in the household register to confirm residence. Those found to have discrepancies in residence will be subject to administrative measures after procedures such as notification and public announcement.

In particular, during the fact investigation period, if those subject to fines such as unregistered residents voluntarily report and organize their resident registration details, up to half of the fine may be reduced, and in cases corresponding to specific reasons under related laws, up to three-quarters of the fine may be reduced.

Meanwhile, on the 7th, Buk-gu conducted preliminary training for resident registration fact investigation officers at the neighborhood administrative welfare centers to ensure smooth progress of the fact investigation, covering points to note during the investigation, procedures for notification, public announcement, and administrative measures, household register management, and prevention of personal information leakage.

Moon In, Mayor of Buk-gu, said, “Since resident registration details are important data that serve as indicators for various policy establishment and administrative work processing, we ask for the active cooperation of residents so that this fact investigation can be conducted accurately.”
