Paju City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Paju City, Gyeonggi Province, announced on the 14th that it will conduct a "Resident Registration Long-term Residence Unknown Person Fact Investigation" targeting long-term residence unknown persons whose residence has been unclear for more than 5 years on their resident registration, starting from the 19th.

The "Residence Unknown Registration System" was introduced in 2009 to ensure that residents whose resident registration was involuntarily deleted due to unauthorized moving out, etc., can still receive various social security benefits and protection from social safety nets.

Since the introduction of the system, as the number of unreported residence unknown persons due to death and loss of nationality has increased, the need for post-management and fact-finding of long-term residence unknown persons was raised, and the fact investigation was conducted for the first time last year.

The fact investigation is based on Article 20-2 of the Resident Registration Act and Article 27, Paragraph 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act.

After the Ministry of the Interior and Safety notifies the subjects, local governments nationwide verify family relationship registration details and conduct fact investigations to decide on involuntary deletion or registration maintenance.

Last year, out of 200,000 people nationwide, 120,000 were involuntarily deleted, and in Paju City, 295 out of 1,475 were involuntarily deleted.
