Main Issues
Whether a person who assists the head of the Dong prepares a false resident registration card, constitutes an offense of preparation of a false official document.
Summary of Judgment
Although the authority to prepare a certified copy or abstract of resident registration record cards is delegated to the head of the Dong, only the head of the Dong or the head of the office is authorized to prepare it, and even if the person who assist the head of the Dong or the defendant prepares it falsely, the crime of forging a false public document does not constitute a crime of preparing false public document.
