Events for which the current Registered Domicile cannot be confirmed
When examining the procedures applied for by the Mynaportal, there have been some cases in which the current registered domicile cannot be identified * from the results of the family register information inquiry that was obtained, and the examination cannot be continued. It is difficult to confirm in advance whether you fall under this case, and if the family register information cannot be correctly confirmed after the application, the eligibility management organization will contact you. In order to continue the examination, it is necessary to attach a family register extract (Certification of items for an individual of family register) at the Mynaportal and reapply, etc.
For inquiries about this initiative, please contact , My Number System.
*In the inquiry results, there are cases where the time series of the history information cannot be grasped and cases where the history information before the computerization of family registers cannot be confirmed.
