Seodaemun-gu Resumes Issuance of Health Checkup Certificates (Formerly Health Certificates)

After 2 Weeks of Completing Vaccination, You Can Visit Seodaemun-gu Health Center for Testing...Targeting Residents and Food, Entertainment, and Catering Workers in the Area Including Those from Other Regions...Health Center Issuance Fees Cheaper than Hospitals and Clinics...Mailing Service for Test Results Available for Residents with Internet Access Difficulties

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) will resume the issuance of health examination certificates (formerly health cards) at the public health center, which had been suspended since March last year due to COVID-19 response work, starting on the 26th of this month for those who have completed COVID-19 vaccination.

Until now, food and entertainment industry workers and employees of meal service facilities had to bear higher costs at hospitals and clinics to obtain health examination certificates compared to the 3,000 KRW issuance fee at the public health center.

To enhance convenience for residents, the district will proactively issue health examination certificates to residents who have completed vaccination and to workers at local businesses residing in other regions among Seoul public health centers.

For AstraZeneca vaccines and others, certificates can be issued two weeks after the second dose, and for the Janssen vaccine, two weeks after the first dose. As the number of vaccinated individuals increases, the issuance target will continue to expand.

Applicants must apply through the ‘Seodaemun-gu Public Health Center website reservation system,’ which is scheduled to open on the 12th of this month. Considering the staffing conditions of doctors and clinical pathologists at the health center, examinations will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

On the day of the examination reservation, residents must bring their ID cards, business owners of local businesses must bring a copy of their business registration certificate (or business license), and employees must bring their employment contract (or employment confirmation if scheduled to start work) when visiting the health center.

The health examination certificate can be obtained again by visiting the health center or by using the ‘Government24’ website.

The district has newly introduced a one-stop service for elderly residents and others who have difficulty using the internet, sending the certificates by registered mail. However, postage fees must be borne by the individual.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “I hope that the resumption of the health examination certificate issuance at the public health center will ease the burden for residents who need it, even if just a little,” and added, “I hope that we can all quickly return to our precious daily lives free from COVID-19.”
