I lost my registration card / my passport or my name has changed

외국인등록증 재발급 및 등록사항 변경신고

People whose card was lost, damaged or has run out, and people who got a new passport or whose name, gender, date of birth or nationality has changed

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 Changes to your registered details, such as a passport renewal or a name change, have to be reported within 15 days of the change or you face a fine of up to 1 million won (the report itself is free). Replacing a lost card costs 35,000 won, and without the card you get blocked at banks, at hospitals and when signing contracts.

Leave a question

Just leave one way to reach you. We check it, pass it to an administrative agent, and the agent contacts you directly.

We only take your request and pass it to an administrative agent. You pay us nothing.

The more you write, the faster the agent can answer you.

It doesn't have to be a Korean number. Pick the country, then type the number. The administrative agent will contact you on this number.

It's the first thing the administrative agent asks on the first call. Filling it in saves a call back.

We don't check what you write and we don't report it anywhere. It goes only to the agent who takes your question.

The year and month you are allowed to stay until. Look for the period of stay on your ARC (foreigner ID card), not the card's issue date. It is fine if you are not sure.

What you write and your contact go only to the administrative agent handling this. We do not tell your employer. The agent tells you the cost directly.
