Passport Changes Reporting Requirement

All foreign residents must report changes in the particulars of their Alien Registration Card (ARC) within fourteen (14) days of the occurence of such changes, including:
- Passport changes, including passport number, date of issuance, or expiration date changes
- Address change (even if only change of unit in same building)
- Name, civil status, nationality changes
- Detail changes (including name change) of organisation for D1, D2 and D4 visa holders

You can go to your Gu-office or to your local immigration office. D8 visa holders can also go to KOTRA or to the Seoul Global Center (where there are immigration officials).

Failure to report can result in the imposition of a fine, the amount of which is determined on a 'case-by-case' basis.
