Criminal Record Certificates
Korean background checks are issued by the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) to Korean nationals and foreign nationals who have previously lived in Korea. Certificates are issued in English and Korean, and are valid for a single country of use and purpose.
Applications in Korea: Persons requiring a criminal record certificate for the purpose of foreign visa or residency applications should request a Criminal (Investigation) Records Check Reply (범죄· 수사경력 회보서). Applications in Korea may be submitted online. Applicants (or an authorized representative) will then need to visit a Korean Police Station (in Korean) to process the application.
Applications from outside Korea: From outside Korea, applications should be made through a 
South Korean Embassy (applicants will need to visit the embassy in person).
