Korean Embassy Issues Electronic Passport Receipt Numbers

Key summary

The Korean Embassy has released a list of receipt numbers for applicants who have received their electronic passports. The available receipt numbers are 14968, 15017, 15043, 15145, 15173, 15184, 15190, 15203, 15236, 15250, 15268, 15290, 15311, 15335, 15022, 15032, 15057, 15066, 15075, 15082, 15155, 15166, 15240, 15276, 15328, 15347, and 15358. Passport collection is available Monday through Friday from 08:30 to 11:30 and 13:30 to 15:30; the embassy does not operate on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays. Applicants may collect their passports in person by presenting their old passport (or an identification document if the old passport is lost). If a representative collects the passport, they must submit a power of attorney for passport services, the applicant's original old passport and receipt, and the representative's own identification card. Online applicants are not eligible for collection by a representative. Passports must be collected within six months of the issue date; failure to do so results in loss of validity and automatic cancellation under Article 13 of the Passport Act.
