 Launch of an intensive campaign promoting “detailed address” applications to improve everyday convenience and access to welfare services
 Provincial officials to visit post offices across the province in September to promote the “Safety e-Report for Address Information Facilities” directly to delivery workers
 Distribution of resident-focused address information materials, including leaflets and posters, throughout the province
Gyeonggi-do is encouraging residents of studio apartments and multi-household homes whose exact units cannot be identified by road-name address alone to apply for a “detailed address.” The province is also urging residents to report damaged or missing road-name signs and building number plates through the “Safety e-Report for Address Information Facilities.”
Introduced in 2013, a detailed address adds building, floor, and unit information after the building number in a road-name address. Studio apartments, multi-household homes, and other residences that do not have separately designated building, floor, and unit numbers like apartment complexes can be assigned detailed addresses. This allows residents to use addresses that include such information, such as “Building XX, Room 201.” Detailed addresses help ensure the accurate delivery of mail and packages. They also make it easier to identify the precise location of individual households when providing administrative and welfare services.
The Safety e-Report for Address Information Facilities, which has been in operation since 2023, allows residents to directly report damaged or missing address information facilities in their neighborhoods, including road-name signs and building number plates.
Residents can submit a report by visiting the Safety e-Report for Address Information Facilities website (juso.gg.go.kr) and uploading a photo of the damaged facility, its location, and a description of its condition. After receiving a report, the department responsible for road-name addresses in the relevant city or county reviews it and carries out any necessary repairs.
To make the two systems easier for residents to use, Gyeonggi-do has produced materials explaining how to apply for a detailed address. It has also prepared posters outlining how to file a report through the Safety e-Report for Address Information Facilities and illustrating common types of damage. The materials will be distributed to cities and counties across the province.
In September, the province also plans to promote the Safety e-Report among postal workers and other delivery personnel who frequently encounter road-name signs and building number plates while making deliveries. Provincial officials will visit post offices across Gyeonggi-do to distribute informational materials and ask delivery workers to report any damaged address information facilities they encounter through the Safety e-Report.
“A detailed address identifies a location down to the building, floor, and unit, providing essential address information not only for deliveries but also for administrative and welfare services and emergency response,” said Park Hyo-sik, Head of Gyeonggi-do’s Address Information Team. “We encourage residents to actively use the Safety e-Report for Address Information Facilities whenever they find damaged road-name signs or building number plates in their neighborhoods.”
