Dongjak-gu Operates Legal Civil Petition Preliminary Review Request System

Reducing Pre-Review Burden with Minimal Document Preparation for Costly Civil Complaints... Applicable to 21 Types of Civil Affairs Including Construction Business Registration, Paid Employment Agency, and Large Store Opening Registration

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Chang-woo Lee) will operate the statutory civil petition preliminary review request system year-round.

This system allows petitioners to submit a simplified set of documents to the administrative agency before formally submitting the full petition documents. Through preliminary review, the agency informs the petitioner in advance whether approval or permission is possible, helping to prevent economic losses such as time and costs if the formal petition is denied.

For example, in the case of construction business registration, the petition processing period is 20 days, but through preliminary review, the possibility can be confirmed within 13 days.

The target services include a total of 21 types of statutory civil petition tasks such as ▲opening (or changing) registration of large-scale and semi-large-scale stores ▲real estate brokerage office opening report ▲liquefied petroleum gas charging business ▲construction business registration ▲petroleum sales business (gas station) registration ▲outdoor advertising display permission ▲construction machinery maintenance business report ▲new registration of automobile management business (partial maintenance business), among others.

Preliminary review requests can be made by visiting the civil petition and passport office at the district office, the designated civil petition window, or the relevant department in charge, or via mail or fax. Detailed information on required documents and fees can be found on the district office website.

Petitioners need to submit an application form and the prescribed simplified documents at the time of petition submission. The submitted documents are reviewed and practically examined by the relevant department, which then decides whether to accept the formal petition and notifies the petitioner.

For formal submission, only additional documents beyond those submitted during the preliminary review request need to be provided, significantly shortening the petition processing period.

Kim Yoo-seop, head of the Civil Petition and Passport Division, said, “Through the operation of the statutory civil petition preliminary review request system, we will minimize the time and economic burdens on petitioners,” adding, “We will continue to explore various civil petition service systems to alleviate inconveniences for petitioners.”
