Certificate of Entry and Exit in Korea: How to Request Your Travel Record

An application may ask you to prove when you entered or left Korea. The government service called Certificate of Entry and Exit, or 출입국에 관한 사실증명, provides an official record of border movements. It is different from permission to stay, work or re-enter Korea.

Gov24 lists online and in-person application routes. For foreign applicants, its service page identifies immigration offices and local administrative offices among the in-person channels. Online availability and identity verification should be checked for your circumstances rather than assumed from another person’s experience.

The listed fee is 2,000 won per certificate, with internet issuance free where available. The service permits applications by the person concerned or an authorized representative, but online applications by a representative are not allowed. 정부24

Before applying, ask the receiving organization exactly what it needs:

• Date range the record must cover
• Required language and number of copies
• Whether a recently issued certificate is necessary
• Whether a printed original or electronic document is accepted
• Any translation or authentication requirement

For an application in person, check the accepted identification and the office’s current service arrangements. A representative needs the applicable authorization and identification documents; do not assume that a family relationship alone is sufficient. Gov24 lists different evidence for special situations, so use the instructions matching your case.

If your name, nationality or passport has changed, tell the issuing office before requesting the record. Check that the certificate belongs to you and covers the correct dates. Report a suspected omission or mismatch to the issuing authority rather than changing the downloaded file.

Keep a secure copy and share it only with the organization that needs it. Travel history contains personal information. A certificate confirms recorded movements; it does not replace a valid passport, residence permission or any separate re-entry requirement.

Consult the official Gov24 service page for fees, documents and application channels.
