Hey,

Just in relation to the EPIK application, I need a Korean Criminal Background check as I am currently living here. Does anyone know if I can go to my local Police Station, or does it have to be the Metropolitan District Station? I am in Busan and it seems the major Police Station is in Yeonje-Gu. Has anyone had to get this yet???

Hey, I'm in Busan too, and I had to get a Korean background check too. Everyone I talked to said they never heard of this. I even posted on here and everyone assumed I must be guilty of something.
All I did was sign three documents and my school did the rest. I work at a hagwon though.
They didn't take any fingerprints. My guess is that crime by foreigners is on the rise and they want to keep a closer eye on us drug addicted, alcoholic, HIV spreading, crazy pedophiles they call waygooks.

Haha, funny but true! Do you know if you got yours at your local Police Station or the head station in Yeonje-Gu? Seems like a hidden myth this Korean Criminal Background malarky!!

I got a background check from a police station in Suwon. I needed it to work back home. Works both ways!!! Anyway, I just walked in with a friend, no money changed hands, filled in one form with my name and ARC number and two secs later. BAMM. Got my CBC. Says I'm good to go. Didn't combit a single crime.....
