I have been told that I need to get a Korean Police Certificate (for Korea).

I live in Songpa-gu, so I can guess I will need to go to the Songpa-gu Police Headquarters at Songpa Station..

but what do I ask them for?

anyone know the fee?

and also how long will it take them to give it to me?

is there anything apart from my ARC that I need to show them?

thanks for any info

try to get someone from the foreigner affairs division, or take a korean with you, and it makes getting it much easier. it's free and easy. takes about 5 minutes once you are standing front of the clerk and then you walk out with it in your hand. just need your ARC card. its all in korean and if you need it in english, you'll need to get it translated and prob notarized by lawyer.

Thanks, it was very, very easy to get.

I just walked into the Police Headquarters asked for directions to get the form, showed my ARC and 3 minutes later was handed my Korean Police Certificate.

Not even any fee, so good, after I just spent 100,000won getting my homecountry police certificate and having it apostled - it was a BONUS that the Korean police certificate was FREE.
