Hwasun County to Conduct Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey Through December

Non-Face-to-Face Survey from July 20 to September 7
In-Person Visits from September 8 to November 9

Hwasun County will conduct a Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey this year in order to enhance the accuracy of resident registration information and to secure foundational data for the establishment of administrative policies.

On July 16, Hwasun County announced that it will conduct the "2026 Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey" for all residents from July 20 to December 14.

The Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey is a nationwide initiative conducted annually to verify resident registration information and actual residency status.

The survey will be carried out using both non-face-to-face digital methods and in-person visits. The non-face-to-face digital survey can be accessed via the Government24 app from July 20 to September 7.

This year, in particular, the TMAP function has been integrated into the Government24 app to enhance the location information feature, improving convenience for residents who find it difficult to participate in in-person surveys, such as dual-income couples and single-person households.

The in-person survey will be conducted from September 8 to November 9 by joint investigation teams at each town and township office. The primary focus will be on households that did not participate in the non-face-to-face survey, as well as priority survey targets, to verify actual residency status.

Priority survey targets include households with ▲ residents aged 100 or older ▲ individuals whose whereabouts have been unknown for five years or more ▲ those suspected to be deceased ▲ socially vulnerable groups ▲ children who have been absent from school for extended periods or have never enrolled despite being of school age. Even if these households participated in the non-face-to-face survey, an additional in-person survey will be conducted.

If the survey finds discrepancies between resident registration information and actual residency, the information will be officially corrected by December 7 after due public notification procedures.

However, if residents voluntarily report accurate resident registration information during the survey period, administrative fines imposed under the relevant laws may be reduced by up to 80%.

Myunghwan Lee, Director of Public Services at Hwasun County, stated, "The Resident Registration Fact-Finding Survey is crucial for providing essential data used in various policy initiatives at the national and local government levels."
