The domicile refers to the place where the family register is located according to the previous Family Registration Act. However, since the family register system was abolished in 2008 and the Family Relations Registration Act was introduced, the term ‘registration base’ has been used rather than the term ‘registration base’ rather than domicile. Although the meanings of domicile and registration base are used differently, there are cases where the domicile and registration base address are the same, so we have summarized how to check the registration base address.
