Kiosks
Getting Korean government documents without the queue
Self-service kiosks let you print official documents yourself, often outside office hours and at weekends — but each machine issues a different set of documents. Some won't do family relation certificates; some stay open until late; some sit inside a subway station. Filter here by the document you need, the hours you need, and where the machine is installed, and you'll get the closest machine that actually issues it.
Frequently asked
What is a 무인민원발급기 (civil service kiosk)?
A self-service machine that prints official Korean government documents — resident registration copies, family relation certificates, tax certificates and more — without queueing at a government office. Many run outside office hours. You'll need your Korean ID and, for most documents, fingerprint verification.
Which documents can I get from one?
Resident registration copies, family relation certificates, national and local tax certificates, health insurance and pension records, passport issuance records, and land or building records, among others. Crucially, each machine handles a different subset — pick the document you need above and this shows only the machines that actually issue it.
Can I get a family relation certificate from any kiosk?
No — only some machines issue family relation documents, and kiosks in subway stations or airports often don't. Turn on the “👪 Family relation” filter to see only machines that do.
Are they open on weekends and at night?
Machines inside government offices usually follow office hours, but ones in subway stations and public buildings often run late and on weekends. Use the “🌙 Open late” and “📅 Open on holidays” filters, or narrow by where the machine is installed.
Do I need a Korean ID?
Yes. These machines authenticate you against your Korean resident registration number, usually with a fingerprint scan, so you'll need to be registered in Korea. Foreign residents with an ARC can use many but not all functions — the machine's on-screen menu is the authority, and most have an English mode.

Some documents — family relation records and English-language certificates in particular — require identity verification at the machine.
