Incheon Simplifies ‘Finding Ancestral Land’ Online Service
Incheon Metropolitan City has launched a campaign to promote the “Finding Ancestral Land” online service, which allows convenient use at home without in-person visits to government offices. The “Finding Ancestral Land” is an administrative service that provides land information by querying individual land ownership statuses registered in cadastral and forest land registers. Previously, applicants had to submit additional electronic documents for online service applications, but now consent alone is sufficient via government platforms. Results are provided within three days of the application date via text message or email, making it more convenient to use.
