Dual nationality and original documents, Japan/Korea

[d&T1 0]

my wife has, Dual Nationality for Japan and Korea.

She was born in Japan and lived and gone to school in both Japan and Korea.

 

Our marriage is registered in Japan, but not Korea, and she has a different family name in Korea.

 

What documents will we need from Korea?

[Jordanian Bride 268]

For the NVC civil documents stage, she will need the biographic passport page of her Korean passport.

Police certificate from Korea.
In the DS-260, she will write down all her different names.

If her Korean passport is expired, this is the time to renew it.

• Korean nationals: Korean nationals must obtain a Criminal (Investigation) Records Check Reply ‘For permission of foreign country immigration and stay’ “Bomjoi-Soosakyongryeok Hoiboseo: Waekuk Yipkuk-Chaeryu Heogayong
(범죄수사경력 회보서: 외국입국체류허가용).” These certificates can be obtained at any police station. A passport or national ID card will be required for identification purposes. No fee is charged, and the certificates are issued
immediately. Application forms (Sample Application form) can be obtained at the police station.
*Note: The Korean police certificates are issued both in Korean and English. If you have ever been arrested in any
jurisdiction, court records with English translations should also be submitted.

Btw, no need to order it until the NOA2.
