Yongsan-gu Advances Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey by Two Months

Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey for All Residents from the 17th to November 10th

Reporting Period for Unregistered Birth Children... Encouraging Anonymous and Voluntary Reporting

Concurrent Non-Face-to-Face Digital Survey via Government24 App and Face-to-Face Survey

Yongsan-gu (District Mayor Park Hee-young) is conducting the "2023 Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey" targeting all residents from the 17th of this month to November 10th.

Generally, the resident registration fact-finding survey is conducted around September every year to verify whether the registered address matches the actual residence. This year, it has been advanced by nearly two months to proactively identify children with unregistered births.

This is to carry out the resident registration fact-finding survey, which is conducted by community leaders or public officials visiting residences in person, alongside the confirmation of unregistered birth children.

In particular, from the 17th of this month, when the fact-finding survey begins, until October 31st, the district will operate a "Reporting Period for Unregistered Birth Children" to encourage residents to report anonymously or voluntarily.

If unregistered birth children are identified, one-stop integrated services such as birth registration, emergency welfare support, and legal assistance will be provided.

The resident registration fact-finding survey will be conducted sequentially through non-face-to-face digital surveys and face-to-face surveys. The non-face-to-face survey runs from the 24th of last month to August 20th, and the face-to-face survey, where community leaders and public officials visit residences, will be conducted from August 21st to October 10th.

As it has become difficult to conduct visits due to the increase in dual-income and single-person households, non-face-to-face digital surveys have been introduced since last year. Survey participants can access the Government24 app and respond directly.

If a participant has taken part in the non-face-to-face digital survey, they do not need to participate in the subsequent face-to-face survey. However, a face-to-face survey is mandatory for "priority survey targets" who require detailed fact-finding.

The "priority survey targets" include ▲ welfare-vulnerable groups (high-risk individuals among welfare crisis households identified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare) ▲ suspected deceased persons ▲ long-term absentees and school-age children not enrolled in school ▲ centenarians aged 100 or older ▲ and those missing for more than five years.

If the fact-finding survey results require corrections to resident registration details, the local community center will revise the registration ex officio after going through notification and announcement procedures.

Park Hee-young, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, stated, "We will do our best in this resident registration fact-finding survey to ensure that residents in welfare blind spots, such as unregistered birth children and welfare-vulnerable groups, do not occur," and added, "We ask for the active cooperation of all residents."
