Yongin Special City to Fully Exempt Unmanned Document Issuance Machine Fees from Next Year

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City announced on the 25th that it will fully exempt fees for civil documents issued from unmanned document issuance machines installed in the region starting January 1, 2026.

This measure was prepared by amending part of the 'Yongin City Ordinance on Charging Fees for Certificates and Copies' to reduce the burden on citizens' use of administrative services.

Accordingly, from 2026, residents can obtain a total of 122 types of civil documents free of charge from unmanned document issuance machines in the region, including resident registration certificates and transcripts, family relation documents, and land and construction-related documents. However, real estate registration certificates, which fall under the jurisdiction of the courts, are excluded from the exemption.

Currently, the city operates a total of 57 unmanned document issuance machines at city hall, district offices, administrative welfare centers, as well as hospitals, banks and other multi-use facilities.

Meanwhile, for those who experience inconvenience in using unmanned document issuance machines due to difficult fingerprint recognition, they can re-register their fingerprints at nearby administrative welfare centers or authenticate themselves using the 'Mobile ID Card' app to issue civil documents.

Mayor Lee Sang-il stated, "Through this full exemption of fees, we expect all citizens to be able to use unmanned document issuance machines without time and financial constraints," and added, "We will continue to actively promote the creation of convenient and efficient civil service environments that citizens can experience in their daily lives."
