Question:
After changing to the new UI No., will I be able to use the “Nationality Case Progress Inquiry” and “Foreign National Class Attendance Hours and Naturalization Test Inquiry” functions on the DHR website? Who can I contact about any related questions?
Answer:
1. Nationality Case Progress Inquiry: You can make this inquiry with the UI No. that you had at the time of applying for naturalization (or restoration of nationality), but if you apply for naturalization (or restoration of nationality) after changing to the new UI No., then you should use the new UI No. to inquire about your case progress.
2. Foreign National Class Attendance Hours and Naturalization Test Inquiry: You can make this inquiry with the UI No. that you had during the period of class attendance or at the time of taking the test.
3. If you have any questions about using the “Nationality Case Progress Inquiry” or “Foreign National Class Attendance Hours and Naturalization Test Inquiry” functions with the new UI No., please contact the Nationality Affairs Section, Department of Household Registration, Ministry of the Interior (contact number: 02-2356-5101).
