Short-term regarding Korean Nationality Laws
When a Korean national becomes a citizen of another country, that individual is no longer a Korean citizen effective on the date recorded on their Certificate of Naturalization. The individual need to personally file renunciation documents, called “Gook Jeok Sang Shil Shin Go,” to the Korean government reporting the change of citizenship. If the individual does not file the necessary documents, it will appear on Korean Family Registry documents as if this person is still a Korean national. However, failure to file does not mean that this person is still a Korean citizen or has acquired dual citizenship. Whether the individual files the day after being naturalized or 20 years after the fact, once the documents are submitted and processed by the Ministry of Justice, the Korean Family Registry will reflect the renunciation date as the same as the one listed on the Certificate of Naturalization. Failure to formally renounce one’s Korean citizenship after being naturalized in another country may cause issues when applying for visas, marriage or birth registry, and legal matters.
