Sejong-si Introduces Mobile Electronic Notification Service

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City announced on the 13th that starting from December, it will introduce a ‘mobile electronic notification service’ allowing residents to view civil defense training, local tax refund notices, individual official land price decision notices, and environmental improvement charge notifications on their smartphones.

The mobile electronic notification service sends bills and notices to the user’s smartphone via text message, KakaoTalk, Naver app, etc., and can be accessed after identity verification.

However, those who do not view electronic bills/notices, owners of 2G phones, and corporations will continue to receive notifications by mail as before.

Earlier, in April, the city applied for and was selected as a target institution in the ‘Paperless Promotion Pilot Project’ conducted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency.

Additionally, the city signed an agreement with the Korea Internet & Security Agency to support the establishment of related systems.

The city expects that once the mobile electronic notification service is implemented, it will reduce delays in delivery and inconveniences caused by loss of paper mail notifications, prevent personal information leaks, and thereby achieve budget savings.

Kim Seong-gi, Director of the City Planning and Coordination Office, said, “The introduction of the mobile electronic notification service will enable citizens to receive bills and notices quickly and conveniently, as well as enhance personal information protection. We will widely promote the related information to citizens before the service is fully launched to ensure smooth utilization of the service in the field.”
