The "Wednesday Night Passport Civil Service Office" was established to enhance citizen convenience by allowing those who find it difficult to apply for passports during regular weekday working hours to apply for or receive passports after work.

Passport applications must be submitted in person, and minors can apply if a legal guardian visits on their behalf. When applying, applicants must bring △ an ID card △ two passport photos taken within the last six months △ and any existing passport with a valid period remaining. Applications and legal guardian consent forms (for minors) can be completed at the Namyangju City Hall 1st Building General Civil Service Office.

When receiving a passport, applicants who applied in person must bring △ an ID card, while proxy recipients must bring △ the proxy’s ID card △ the passport holder’s ID card △ and a power of attorney.

However, online applicants must visit in person and bring their previous passport if it is still valid.

A Namyangju City official stated, "We expect that operating the Wednesday Night Passport Civil Service Office will allow citizens to obtain passports more conveniently," and added, "We will continue to provide better civil services by reflecting the diverse needs of our citizens."

The "Wednesday Night Passport Civil Service Office" will not operate on public holidays, the days before Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays, or December 31. For more details, please refer to the Namyangju City Hall website or contact the Passport Civil Service Team.
