I got my ARC a couple of months ago and went with someone from the uni to help me and another new teacher out. I wrote my home address down and uni address.

ON my ARC, they've just listed my uni address. IS that legal? I've been told that I have to have my home address, even though the apt I'm living in isn't in my name, but a friend's.

They got my address wrong too and the bank spelled my name wrong on my account so I have lots of fun transferring money home with a passport - arc card - bank account that all have subtle variations on name and address Confused

You should be fine, I think Koreans are aware of how much they screw up anything to do with Englishee

My first ARC didn't have an address at all, so they obviously knew it wasn't a valid address when they made it, and they still made it. They messed up the address on my current address a little too, even though I wrote it entirely in Hangul...

rhtat's good to know. My bank info isn't correct either. They simply cut off half my middle name. Just hope that the ARC won't be an issue when I try to get my husband his.

When I went to get my husband's ARC (F-3 visa), we had moved and it was not changed on my ARC. I did not run into any problems even though our new address did not match my ARC. Immigration only changed my address on my card when I went to renew my E-2. (they just wrote the new address on the back of my card with a black marker...)
