🍼 Newborn in Korea: papers to handle

A short checklist after the birth.

1. Get the birth certificate (출생증명서) from the hospital.
2. Foreign parents: register the birth with your own embassy and apply for the baby's passport.
3. Then report the baby's stay to immigration within the deadline (check HiKorea or call 1345).
4. Add the baby to health insurance and check vaccination schedules at your local public health centre (보건소).
