You then walk around the corner and get it translated outside the Korean government office. If you are both Australian, I am not sure what Korean government paperwork is required. I'm actually not sure the Korean government even cares. I think they only care about registering the marriage if one or both people are Korean citizens.

And could it be done within a week if we get in first thing Monday morning?

It is basically some identification with your photo and visa information on it. I had to renew my ARC every year. <br /><br />I am pretty sure the certificate of no impediment is necessary. <br /><br />What country are you from?<br /><br />Cheers<br />PhilPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006488910598698221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300147746102535175.post-28418306677066544342016-08-25T12:24:48.555+09:002016-08-25T12:24:48.555+09:00What is an ARC?

May I ask if either you or your wife at the time was under 20 years old at the time? <br /><br />Yes, she is korean. I cannot speak korean. Do they speak English?

When we went to the ...You are quite possibly right. When we went to the government office we were under the impression that we could complete everything on the spot in one visit. I was confused too when told that the in-laws needed to sign a form, but then Korea isn’t always logical. I suspect that the person we dealt with at the government office didn’t understand the paperwork properly. What you said about people over 20 not needing parent signatures makes perfect sense. I’ll talk to my wife again tonight and see what she says. I’ll update my blog post to try and make things clearer too. Thanks for your question :)<br /><br />May I ask, is your wife Korean? Can you speak Korean? The best thing to do might be to call the government office and get the information from the horse’s mouth.

I was just confused because all the information I found only mentioned that parent signatures are required when the individuals are under 20 years old. So that is not the case? So I assume that the form cannot be completed on the spot during 1 visit? Also, information on the iinternet does not mention bringing witnesses or parents to the Ward when submitting the forms, so I was confused.

The government form I mentioned is for ...Hi Karson,<br />The government form I mentioned is for both the Korean in-laws AND the witnesses to sign. The in-laws can also double as your witnesses. I suggest getting someone who can read Korean to help you fill out the form, but basically the form asks for<br />a) The names of the two people getting/that were married (section 1 of the form)<br />b) The names of the parents for both the husband and the wife (section 2 of the form)<br />c) Info about when you got married, that you are not related, etc (section 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the form)<br />d) Two witnesses to the marriage (these can be anyone who witnessed the ceremony) (section 8 of the form)<br />e) Signature spaces for the parents, or if the parents have passed away there is also space guardians to sign. (section 9 of the form)<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br />Cheers<br />PhilPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006488910598698221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300147746102535175.post-4483335773390433312015-01-29T14:01:35.852+09:002015-01-29T14:01:35.852+09:00Hi Phillip, thank you for posting your adventure. ...Hi Phillip, thank you for posting your adventure. I had a question about the signature by the korean in-laws. I was trying to find information in regards to the form that needs to be filled out by the korean citizen. I did not know there was a form that needed to be filled out by the parents. Can you clarify on this? Also, are witnesses required to be present to sign on anything (I read something about 2 witnesses)? Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020645160120285548noreply@blogger.com
