Delinquent Vehicles Beware! Receive License Plate Violation Alerts on Your Mobile Phone

Seocho-gu, Nationwide First to Operate 'Mobile Electronic Notice System' for Seized License Plates of Overdue Vehicles

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Cho) announced that it has introduced the nation's first 'Mobile Electronic Notice System' for the seizure of license plates on delinquent vehicles in line with the non-face-to-face era due to COVID-19, and after a pilot operation in August, it has been in full operation since early this month.

The 'Mobile Seizure Electronic Notice System' is a smart delinquency administration system with a real-time electronic notice function that detects both parked and moving vehicles through the CCTV of enforcement vehicles.

This method complements the inconvenience of the existing enforcement officers who only checked delinquent vehicles for parked cars and attached seizure notices to the front windshield of the driver's seat.

Specifically, the system immediately detects delinquent vehicles with on-site enforcement vehicles equipped with a CCTV detection system and sends an electronic notice of license plate seizure to the vehicle owner's mobile phone linked with the Seoul City Delinquent Integrated Seizure App. After receiving the electronic notice, the delinquent vehicle owner can directly check their delinquency details and make payments through the 'Seoul City Vehicle License Plate Seizure Simple Civil Service' website indicated in the notice.

Currently, despite being in the early stages of implementation, the number of detections increased more than twice from 48 cases in the six days before implementation to 107 cases during the same period after implementation. Through this, the district expects to reduce the infection risk of enforcement officers due to COVID-19 and achieve 3 to 5 times more delinquency collection effectiveness than the existing method.

The targets for delinquent vehicle detection and electronic notice include ▲ vehicles with two or more unpaid automobile taxes ▲ vehicles with unpaid fines totaling 300,000 KRW or more for over 60 days due to illegal parking, exclusive lane violations, lack of mandatory insurance, failure to undergo regular inspections, and other automobile-related fines.

Additionally, the district plans to operate a three-strike-out system to seize vehicles that continue to fail to pay delinquent amounts even after receiving three electronic notices as delinquent vehicles.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Cho said, “We will continue to discover policies that can enhance the convenience of residents regarding tax payments so that residents can receive convenient administrative services.”
