Is it possible to renew korean passport?
 

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to renew Korean passport here in the states? I did search the forum for an answer, but most posts only talked about renewal problems regarding being a male and joining the army. Since I am a girl, would I be able to renew? My dad tried to renew it for me 3 years ago, and the lady at the Korean Consulate told him to comeback when we get a green card. Which would mean I can't renew since I am out of status? Is she misinformed? Thanks

No, you can renew your passport. I'm from an Asian country and I renewed my passport a few months ago. Go to a Korean embassy and they'll do it for you.

Hi, I'm new here. You are allowed to renew your korean passport without a problem if you are a female. I did so last summer at the korean consulate in LA. They just made me sign a paper stating that I would file for legal status when one day I got the opportunity.

Did the workers at the consulate in Los Angeles speak English? I'm worried since I can only speak broken Korean. Can you also tell me what you brought with you to the consulate? I just want to know what I should expect.

And thanks everyone for your response

My dad came with me, so he spoke in korean with them. But I think they would speak
in English if you initiated the conversation. I remember bringing my old passport, cash, and filling out the form there. The thing is you need to put a Korean address on the form, so I just ended up putting my relative's.

Oh no... the only relative we had in Korea which would be my grandpa is now deceased. I don't have any address we can use since its only me and my parents. And all our relatives live in America. Do they mail the passport there or something?

No. I just picked it up from the consulate. Maybe you can put a friend's address or a random one? I don't know if they really check it.
