On July 21, Gwangju City announced that it will conduct the "2025 Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey" until October 23, 2025, to verify whether residents' registered addresses match their actual places of residence.

This survey aims to improve administrative efficiency by ensuring the accuracy of resident registration information and will serve as foundational data for policymaking to address welfare blind spots. The survey will be conducted in two stages: a non-face-to-face digital survey and on-site visits.

The first stage, the "Non-Face-to-Face Digital Survey," will take place from July 21 to August 31, 2025. During this period, one representative from each household can respond via the "Government24" application.

The second stage will be conducted from September 1 to October 23, 2025. During this phase, public officials or community leaders will visit households that did not respond in the first stage, as well as households identified as key targets, to verify actual residency through on-site visits.

The key target groups include: ▲ individuals aged 100 or older ▲ persons whose residence status has been unknown for five years or more ▲ individuals suspected to be deceased ▲ high-risk welfare-vulnerable groups ▲ households with children who have been absent from school for extended periods without justification or who are of school age but not enrolled.

In particular, for high-risk welfare-vulnerable groups, the survey will focus on those identified as "potential crisis households," especially those who are out of contact, have moved, live in vacant homes, are away for extended periods, or have information discrepancies. The results of the survey will be used to identify households in crisis and to connect them with customized welfare services.

During the survey period, those who voluntarily report changes will have their fines reduced. If the registered address and actual place of residence do not match, the information will be corrected ex officio after a notice and public announcement process.

Park Yunwon, Director of the Autonomous Administration Division, stated, "This fact-finding survey plays an important role in improving the accuracy of resident registration and in addressing welfare blind spots," and urged citizens to actively participate during the non-face-to-face survey period.
