Suwon Improves Mailing Envelopes to Prevent Lost Found IDs

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Joon-seong] Suwon Special City announced on the 7th that it will change the color of mailing envelopes used to send found resident registration certificates to neighborhood administrative welfare centers to prevent loss accidents.

The city sends approximately 1,000 found resident registration certificates annually to the relevant neighborhood administrative welfare centers, but there had been concerns about loss accidents because the envelopes were indistinguishable from regular mailing envelopes.

A found resident registration certificate refers to a resident registration certificate that a city, county, or district office head received from the post office after a citizen lost it.

Accordingly, the city changed the mailing envelope color for found resident registration certificates to yellow and marked the phrase "Resident Registration Certificate in Transit - Please Be Sure to Deliver to the Responsible Person" in red on the front of the envelope.

Being clearly distinguishable from other mailing envelopes, staff at neighborhood administrative welfare centers can easily identify that it is a found resident registration certificate.

The city submitted a system improvement proposal to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety requesting that the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation change the color of administrative envelopes containing new and reissued resident registration certificates sent to citizens.

A city official said, "Through improvements to administrative envelopes for sending found resident registration certificates, we will prevent internal loss accidents and better protect citizens' personal information."
