외국 운전면허를 한국 면허로 전환하는 방법

행정사의 팁

• Bring your original license, not a photocopy — test centres will not process photocopies for the exchange.

• If your license is in a language other than English or Korean, arrive early as on-site translators may have a queue.

• The written test can be taken on the same day as your documents are submitted — no separate appointment needed.

• Your Alien Registration Card (ARC) must be issued before you can convert your license — new arrivals must register as a foreigner first.

• An International Driving Permit obtained before coming to Korea is valid for 1 year but is not the same as a Korean license — convert to Korean as soon as you establish long-term residency.

• Motorcycles and large vehicles require separate license classes in Korea — your foreign 'motorcycle' or 'Class B' designation must be present on your original license to receive the equivalent Korean class.
