A document proving where you currently live. What you need depends on your housing situation — it is not one document but whichever fits your case.

📌 Key points

Dormitory: a residence confirmation from your school. Lease in your name: a copy of the lease. Living in someone else's place: a residence-provision confirmation plus the provider's ID and lease copies.

📍 Where to go and get it in person

Dormitory: your school. Lease: your own copy. Residence-provision confirmation: written by the person providing the housing

💻 Open HiKorea

⚠️ Things to watch out for

If you live in a guesthouse or hotel, you may also need a business registration copy and a rent receipt or transfer record. Confirmation forms are available from immigration offices or your school. Forms are available on HiKorea or at your immigration office. If you are unsure which documents apply to you, call 1345.
