Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province announced that starting on the 9th, it will expand eligibility for issuing the Gangwon Resident Card to include registered foreigners through the "Gangwon Hyetaekiji" administrative service. With this expansion, not only residents of the province but also foreigners will be able to use various benefit services more easily and conveniently.

Previously, foreigners who wanted to obtain a Gangwon Resident Card had to prepare supporting documents such as a Certificate of Alien Registration and an application form and visit an office in person. Going forward, identity verification will be possible through "Gangwon Hyetaekiji," which is expected to significantly reduce the burden of the issuance procedure.

In addition, when users authenticate a QR code placed at partner establishments within the province, such as resorts, restaurants, and cafes, the "Gangwon Daily Life Resident Card" will automatically be displayed. By presenting this card at partner locations, users can receive various discount benefits.

"Gangwon Hyetaekiji" can be easily accessed via the web service (easy.gwd.go.kr) or through a QR code, and users can apply for the Gangwon Resident Card and use a wide range of benefit services.

Yoon Wooyoung, Director General of the Administration Bureau of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, said, "We will continue to improve Gangwon Hyetaekiji so that we can provide services that both residents and foreigners can truly feel in their daily lives."
