Suwon to Begin Passport Issuance Services Starting Next Month's 20th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City announced on the 29th that starting from the 20th of next month, it will take over and operate the passport affairs previously managed by Gyeonggi Province.

The building that housed the Gyeonggi Province Passport Civil Affairs Office will be used as the Suwon City Passport Civil Affairs Office (336 World Cup-ro, Paldal-gu, next to Suwon World Cup Stadium). In place of this, the city plans to increase passport service counters and expand the citizen waiting area.

Accordingly, from the 20th of next month, citizens will be able to issue or receive passports at the Suwon City Passport Civil Affairs Office from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays (extended until 9 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays every week).

Additionally, services for broad-level passport affairs such as same-day emergency passport issuance and registration of old passport numbers are also available.

Citizens who applied for a passport at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government's Open Civil Affairs Office before July 20th but did not pick it up can collect it from the Suwon City Passport Civil Affairs Office after July 20th.
