Issuance services include ▲passport services ▲resident registration certificates ▲seal certificates ▲birth, death, and marriage registration applications.

Last year, the district operated the “Night Civil Service Office” 46 times and handled about 2,000 civil service cases. Among them, passport services accounted for about 1,800 cases, making up 97% of the total workload.

In addition, the district operates 18 civil service guides (volunteers) to ensure comfortable use of the civil service office. These guides assist elderly, disabled, and pregnant visitors by providing directions to service counters, helping with office equipment use, and lending wheelchairs to ensure no inconvenience in handling their affairs.

Furthermore, to allow residents to conveniently obtain necessary civil documents nearby without visiting individual administrative agencies, the district has installed and operates 32 unmanned issuing machines at subway stations with high foot traffic, hospitals, government offices, and financial institutions.
