After moving: report your new address and update your records

If a registered alien has changed his or her place of residence, he or she must confirm the change of residence report. Government 24's civil complaint guidance explains that you must report within 15 days from the date of moving to a new residence. This deadline is the standard for reporting change of residence for registered aliens covered in this article. Please do not apply the same deadline as there are separate regulations for reporting a change of domestic residence for a person with a different status. Things to take care of before moving Please write down the street name, building name, building number, and move-in date of your new address. If you are staying in a dormitory, an acquaintance's house, or company accommodation without a contract in your name, first ask at the reception what kind of proof of residence you need. You can reduce unnecessary visits by checking the conditions for applying online and the required authentication methods. What to check when reporting Check the government 24 guide for the responsible agency, required documents, and processing method, and then compare them with your own documents. Giving your address to your landlord or school is different from reporting it to immigration. You need to get into the habit of keeping the application screen or receipt and checking the processing results. Change separately after reporting Check your school/work contact information, bank mailing address, telecommunication billing address, and delivery app address in order. Don't assume that everything will change automatically, but check for changes by institution. It's a good idea to organize how you receive mail so that important notices don't arrive at your old home. If the address is complex, show the address part of the contract, but cover up unnecessary personal information such as deposit or identification number when inquiring.
