Please note that various application procedures and settlement services related to national qualifications from Mynaportal can be used as usual.
We apologize to all users for the inconvenience and inconvenience caused. We are currently working to reopen the service, so we ask for your patience.

Events for which identification of the current registered domicile is not possible

When examining the procedures applied for by the City of Mynaportal, inquiries regarding information related to the family register are conducted to confirm the applicant's registered domicile. In some cases, the examination cannot be continued because the current registered domicile cannot be identified (*) from the results of the inquiries regarding the obtained family register information. It is difficult to confirm beforehand whether or not you fall under any of these cases, and if the information related to the family register cannot be confirmed correctly after the application, the qualifications management organization will contact you. In order to continue the examination, it is necessary for the City of Mynaportal to re-apply with the Certification of items for an individual of the family register attached.

  • *There are cases in which historical information prior to the computerization of family registers cannot be confirmed in the inquiry results.

If you have any questions regarding this initiative, please contact .
