Jeonju City Implements Postal Delivery of Disability Registration Cards

Introduction of Individual Postal Delivery Service from This Year... Delivery Time Drastically Reduced to 7 Days

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City announced on the 3rd that it will provide an improved disability registration card issuance service starting this year to reduce the economic burden and enhance convenience for issuing disability registration cards.

First, an individual postal delivery service for disability registration cards will be introduced.

This is to eliminate the inconvenience of having to visit the local community service center to receive the disability registration card after applying for issuance, allowing applicants to receive the card by mail at their desired location after applying.

Previously, when applying for a disability registration card at the local community service center, the card was produced by the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation and then delivered to the applicant through the city hall, district office, and local community service center.

However, with the implementation of the postal delivery service, the process of delivering through the city/district office and local community service center will be eliminated, significantly reducing the processing time from about 15 days to 7 days.

Jeonju City also decided to cover the 4,000 KRW personal charge, which was required when issuing a disability registration card that includes a highway discount card function, using its own funds, making it free of charge to reduce the economic burden on people with disabilities.

With the personal charge waived, the procedure of collecting 4,000 KRW from the applicant and sequentially depositing it into the district office, city hall, and Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation accounts will be omitted, which is expected to improve administrative efficiency.

Through this issuance service, Jeonju City expects to simplify unnecessary administrative procedures related to issuing about 7,100 disability registration cards annually, realizing prompt and accurate administrative services, as well as enhancing the convenience of issuance for people with disabilities.
