Legal Services
Legal services can be hard to find and acquire without a little Korean skill. If you don’t speak Korean, you’re probably going to need the assistance of someone who does. The list of services below are provided by members of the Socius community as we experience them.

I recently had cause to seek the services of a notary public, in order to get certified copies of my passport for official purposes. I had seen signs for notary publics in Itaewon in Seoul, but had no idea how to find such a service in Daejeon … but it is possible!! It took me a couple of days to find & help from Koreans.\’a0 For those of you who ever need to do this here is a brief guide:
\
-
\
- You will need a Korean (who is prepared to say that they know you!) to act as your translator if your Korean is poor.\’a0 The Korean will need to take their personal ‘stamp’ for use on the forms.
- Go to the notary public.\’a0 The Korean is:\’a0 ???\’a0 Go to City Hall area & walk down to Daejeon Public Prosecutor’s Office.\’a0 The ??? is opposite the PPO, on the corner of the next block up from Hana Bank & Tous Les Jours.\’a0 The sign is blue with white text.
- Take your patience & cash. It cost me 150,000 won for 2 copies of my passport.
