This survey will mainly target households that did not participate in the non-face-to-face survey, as well as key target groups.

The key target groups include residents aged 100 or older, individuals whose residence status has been unknown for a long time, those suspected to be deceased, people in vulnerable welfare groups, long-term unapproved absentees, and school-age children not enrolled in school.

For the survey, responsible public officials and village leaders will visit the registered addresses in person. If the results of the visit reveal discrepancies between actual residence and the resident registration information, additional verification will be conducted.

If the fact-finding survey reveals that resident registration information needs to be corrected, the local government will amend the resident registration information ex officio after a notice and announcement process (from October 24 to November 19).

Additionally, during the resident registration fact-finding period, if individuals voluntarily report changes, up to 80% of the administrative fines imposed under the Resident Registration Act may be reduced.

An official from Hongcheon County stated, "The resident registration fact-finding survey forms the basis for the central and local governments to establish policies, so we ask for the active cooperation of all residents."
