| Maybe your rental contract but for me I just turned up and said I had moved address and they asked me to write it down and I did. Cost 10,000won and it only took 10 minutes. |

When I last moved I had to show my passport, ARC, applicatiion form and the ability to write your new address or have it written down. |

| Yeah you'll need those things too. ALso fill out one of those forms and tick the correct box which says change of address. |

First of all, you SHOULD be able to do this at the local Gu office (not the Dong Office), rather than trek all the way out to Immigration. (I did this about 2 weeks ago).
My local Gu Office had a desk for 'foreigners'. I filled out the form with my old address and my new address (I wrote it in Korean, but not sure if that's necessary). The lady changed the address on my ARC and asked if I had a driver's license (which I do). She changed the address on that too.
I didn't have to show any documents (I took my passport, but wasn't asked for it). If memory serves, I didn't pay anything. If I did, is was definitely less than 10,000 won. |

| Yeah, what confused canadian said - I've always... or should I say, my husband's always just went to the gu-cheong to change our address... never to the immigration. |

I didn't notice my ARC address was incorrect until I had been here
a few months. When I got here I let the school people fill out the
forms.
I just corrected it when I renewed and there was no extra charge.
The police officer at the driver's license office filled put my school
address in my home address. I'm not going to bother changing my
driver's license. |

I'm on an F2 and just moved in October.
I went to City Hall in Gunpo. Filled out an application to change my residence and showed my ARC.
No cost; 10 minutes (including time to fill out the application) and done.
Cheers |
