Suspension of Issuance of Resident Registration Certificates and Other Civil Documents During Hangul Day Holiday Period

Ministry of the Interior and Safety Delays Launch of 'Next-Generation Resident Registration System' by One Week

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The launch of the next-generation Resident Registration System, originally scheduled for the 5th, has been postponed by one week to the 12th due to system errors.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 5th that ahead of the first phase launch of the next-generation Resident Registration System, they suspended all resident registration-related services, including the online issuance of resident registration certificates and abstracts, during the recent Chuseok holiday period, and conducted a pilot operation of the system together with local governments. As a result, system errors and other issues arose, making it unavoidable to delay the system launch.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to use the one-week preparation period to address the deficiencies and reinitiate the transition work necessary for the launch of the next-generation Resident Registration System.

Accordingly, from 6 p.m. on the 8th, before and after the Hangul Day holiday, until 6 a.m. on the 12th, services related to resident registration, such as issuance of resident registration certificates and abstracts, unmanned civil service issuance machines, and resident registration move-in reports, will be suspended.

The Ministry is currently promoting the first phase of the next-generation Resident Registration System project to integrate and build the outdated resident registration systems of 229 cities, counties, and districts nationwide, which are over 20 years old, into a web-based latest information technology environment.

An official from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety requested, "As issuance and inquiry services related to resident registration, including unmanned issuance machines, will be suspended, please prepare any necessary resident registration documents in advance."
