Temporary Suspension of Certain Civil Service Functions Including Government24

In preparation for the launch of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City, administrative information related to resident registration and official seals will be transitioned to a new system. Accordingly, certain civil service functions, including Government24 and unmanned civil document issuance kiosks, will be temporarily unavailable from the evening of June 30 to the early morning of July 1.


On May 29, Gwangju City announced that, in line with the launch of the Integrated Special City on July 1, it will proceed with updates to the address information and institution names in the resident registration system and official seal register.


The address information in key civil administration systems, such as resident registration and family relationship registration, will be changed en masse from “Gwangju Metropolitan City” to “Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City.”

The system transition work will be carried out from 6:00 p.m. on June 30 to 5:00 a.m. on July 1. During this period, the use of certain civil service functions, such as Government24 and unmanned kiosks, will be restricted.


Gwangju City will provide advance notice of the service suspension. After the transition, changes in address and institution names on resident registration certificates and official seal certificates will be checked, mainly through the local administrative welfare centers.


Handwritten official seal registers are scheduled to be updated within 60 days after the launch of the Integrated Special City. Gwangju City plans to support the process by producing and distributing customized rubber stamps and by providing field personnel.



Lee Subin, Director of the Autonomous Administration Division of Gwangju City, stated, “We will do our utmost in preparation and inspection to ensure that citizens do not experience inconvenience in using civil services during the initial phase of the launch of the Integrated Special City.”
