Administrative Agency
- Government24 website: www.gov.kr ☎ 1588-2188 (English, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian and Mongolian available)
- Through the government civil portal 'Government24' complaints received are processed by law and relevant laws and regulations relating to civil petitions process.
We have close ties with a Dong Community Service Center, government city, county, and ward agencies which can be useful for daily life. These community centers improve the quality of public life, and deal with facilities management, various cultural/welfare education, and related programs. They also handle certification issues and administrative affairs. Lately, with the emphasis on usability for civil affairs, administrative affairs do not have to be handled in person. Even with no need to visit an administrative agency in person, there is an automatic government issued machine to handle administrative affairs at each subway station or through the use of government civil portal 'Government24'. In the case of certain documents, you have to visit the administrative office to obtain them.
