In today’s Republic of Korea, there are so many people using their own cars that it can be said that there is one car per person.
In particular, although it is not mandatory to obtain a driver’s license as an adult, there are many people who obtain a driver’s license immediately after graduating from high school as a process and have had a driver’s license from a young age.
In line with this trend, we will take the time to learn more about the issuance of driving experience certificates.
1. What is a driving experience certificate?
A driving experience certificate is a document that proves an individual’s driving experience in accordance with the enforcement rules of the Road Traffic Act. A driving history certificate can be submitted by a driver’s license holder to prove his/her driving history, or requested by some institutions or organizations to confirm his/her driving history.
The driving record certificate contains information related to driving, such as the date of issuance of the driver’s license, mileage, and the type of vehicle being driven.
Through this, you can check your individual driving skills and experience.
Additionally, in the event of a traffic accident, the date and location of the accident, personal damage, etc. must be specifically stated.
Generally, it is issued by the local driver’s license test management agency, and the issuance procedures and requirements may vary depending on the region.

A driving record certificate can be issued not only online, but also by visiting the police station in person. However, it can be issued easily and time-savingly online, so you can refer to how to visit the police station.
* Things to prepare when issuing a visit
– When applying in person: ID card (resident registration card, driver’s license, national merit card, disabled person registration card, alien registration card, passport)
– In case of application by agent: Present ID of agent → Submit power of attorney → Present ID of proxy
If the police station is really close or you are passing by, you can visit the police station in person to get it issued, so it would be good to know both ways.
