The National Police Agency and the Road Transport Corporation will issue an English driver’s license that can be certified as a driver’s license in 33 countries such as the UK, Canada, and Australia from the 16th at the driver’s license test offices and police departments nationwide. Revealed the day. This English driver’s license has the same table as the conventional driver’s license, but on the back, the license information such as name, date of birth, license number, and the type of car that can be driven is written in English. This license is valid in 33 countries including New Zealand, Australia, Canada (12 states including Ontario), Guam, Denmark, Switzerland, Ireland, Turkey and Finland. Until now, Korean citizens had to go to the government office at least once to go abroad. The 97 countries participating in the “Road Traffic Convention” such as the US and Japan recognize international driver’s licenses, but they must go to the police station and be issued for a period of one year. 67 countries, such as the UK, have signed individual agreements with South Korea and they accept Korean licenses in their own country, but they needed a “translation notarization” from the Korean embassy in that country. 33 countries out of 67 have decided to accept this Korean driver’s license as it is. An official of the National Police Agency said, “Some of the countries that are visited by many Koreans, such as the United States, are missing, but we plan to increase the number of certified countries through further discussions in the future.” An English driver’s license can be issued when a driver’s license is newly acquired, re-issued, aptitude test, or renewal at national driver’s license test centers. In the case of reissuing or renewing your license, you can apply at the counter in charge of the police station. An ID and photo are required and the fee is 10,000 won (about 900 yen).
