Gangbuk-gu, Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey ... Focus on Welfare Vulnerable Groups, Long-Term Missing Residents, etc.

Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey until November 10 ... Two Methods: Non-Face-to-Face Digital and Visit Surveys

Birth Unregistered Child Reporting Period Operated Concurrently until October 31

Seoul Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Lee Soon-hee) will conduct a 'Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey' to compare and verify residents' actual residence and resident registration records until November 10.

The survey targets all households residing in Gangbuk-gu, but the district plans to focus especially on ▲welfare vulnerable groups ▲those suspected of death ▲long-term absentees and school-age children not enrolled in school ▲centenarians aged 100 or older ▲and long-term missing residents who have been absent for more than five years.

The fact-finding survey will be conducted using two methods: non-face-to-face digital survey and visit survey. The non-face-to-face digital survey period is until August 20, and the visit survey period is until October 10.

The non-face-to-face digital survey is conducted by household members directly entering the resident registration status through the 'Government24' application. Since the method determines whether the location matches the registered address using device location information (GPS), participation must be made from the resident registration address. Those who participate in the non-face-to-face digital survey are excluded from the visit survey, but focused survey targets such as long-term absentees and school-age children not enrolled in school will still be visited even if they participated in the digital survey.

Additionally, the birth unregistered child reporting period will be operated concurrently until October 31. When a report of an unregistered child is received, the responsible official visits the home to verify the child's birth, whereabouts, and safety. Unregistered children are transferred to the child-dedicated TF team to provide one-stop services such as birth registration, emergency welfare, and legal support.

If the resident registration is found to be inaccurate as a result of the fact-finding survey, the district will issue a notice urging voluntary reporting to the actual residence, and for those who fail to report within the period, administrative measures and resident registration record adjustments will be taken. However, those who voluntarily report during the fact-finding period can receive up to an 80% reduction in fines imposed under the Resident Registration Act.

Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “The resident registration fact-finding survey is not only to provide accurate administrative services but also an essential system for managing welfare vulnerable groups and long-term missing residents. We are actively identifying welfare blind spots during visit surveys, so we ask for active cooperation in discovering residents in need of help through this resident registration fact-finding survey.”
