Frequently Asked Questions
What is the passport issuance procedure if my name has been changed or my resident registration number has been corrected?
In case of name change
If you have received permission to change your name from the court at your own request, you can correct your family relationship register and resident registration with the changed name, obtain a renewal of your resident registration card, and present the corrected resident registration card to apply for a new passport.
In case of change of resident registration number
After matching your family relationship register and resident registration, you can receive a renewal of your resident registration card and apply for a new passport by presenting the changed resident registration card.
When issuing a passport, can I specify the same number as my existing passport?
It cannot be specified. When reissuing a passport, a new passport number is created, so it is not possible to assign the same passport number as the old passport. However, if necessary, you can enter your old passport number in the additional information section of your new passport.
Can the institution applying for and receiving the passport be different?
Passports must be collected from the institution where you applied. However, at the time of application, only those who have applied for mail receipt will be asked to submit an application for mail receipt and can receive it by registered mail.
I received a passport-related text message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What text is this?
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides advance notification service regarding passport expiration date based on Articles 45 and 66 of the Enforcement Decree of the Passport Act. This is a service that sends notification messages to subscribers of the three domestic mobile communication companies among Korean citizens whose passports have only six months left until their expiration date.
I received a text message asking me to extend (renew) my passport. Do I need to extend (renew)? What are the required documents?
This text informs you of your passport expiration date, and does not mean that you must get a reissue within 6 months of the passport expiration date. If you have no plans to leave the country, you can apply for a passport when necessary. (There is no disadvantage when applying for a passport after the passport expiration date and the fee is the same)
finish
Today, we learned about how to look up your passport number and check its expiration date. Passport numbers can be checked not only through Government 24, but also through the Naver app and KakaoTalk app, so those who frequently use Naver or KakaoTalk may have easier access.
