Pyeongtaek City to Notify Fines via KakaoTalk and Text Messages Starting Next Month

Illegal Parking and Bus-Only Lane Violation Subjects

On the 24th, Pyeongtaek City in Gyeonggi Province announced that starting from the 1st of next month, it will implement a 'Smart Electronic Notification Service' that sends advance notices of fines for illegal parking and bus-only lane violations via KakaoTalk and text messages.

The city explained that this service was established to address the increasing issue of repeated violations caused by recipients not receiving registered mail on time or delays in receipt due to discrepancies between the vehicle owner's registered address and actual residence.

The smart electronic notification requires no separate application process. When a notification message is sent to the fine recipient, they can verify their identity and consent to electronic notification procedures to view the fine details.

If the first KakaoTalk message is not received or viewed, a second text message will be sent. For those who do not view the text message or refuse to receive it, a paper notice will be sent via registered mail. The city also offers a convenient payment service linked with KakaoPay.

Lee Seon-hee, Director of Pyeongtaek City's Integrated Control Center, said, "The implementation of this service will enhance citizen convenience and work efficiency while reducing costs," adding, "We will continue to strive to improve administrative services."
