Yeongdeungpo District to Operate Passport Civil Service Offices on Tuesday Evenings and Second Saturdays

Weekend Service Counter Added Following Evening Civil Service Office Expansion

Yeongdeungpo District in Seoul (District Mayor Jo Yujin) will operate a "Saturday Passport Civil Service Office" on the second Saturday of every month starting from September 12. This expands the current service, which operates late-night on Tuesdays, to include weekend support for residents who have difficulty visiting the district office during weekday hours.

The Saturday Passport Civil Service Office will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month, handling general passport application and issuance services. The district expects this initiative will help alleviate the burdens faced by office workers, students, and dual-income couples who may have trouble visiting during regular weekday working hours.

Previously, the district has been operating an evening civil service office every Tuesday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This office offers not only general passport application and issuance, but also resident registration certificates, seal certificate issuance, change of address registration for foreigners, as well as family relation registration for birth or marriage. However, the Saturday office will be limited to passport-related work only.

As part of efforts to improve the civil service office environment, the district has also set up and is operating a "commemorative photo zone for marriage registration" within the district office’s civil service area.

District Mayor Jo Yujin stated, "In consideration of residents' busy daily lives, we have expanded our services from Tuesday evening operations to now include a weekend passport counter. We will continue striving to provide residents with the administrative services they rightfully deserve, without interruption."
