How to get Korean Driving License

1. If you have valid driving license of India then you need not have Intl Driving License of India for getting Korea Driving license.

2. Contact Mr. Choi on Mobile No.: 010-3295- 6668. He is approved agent by Indian embassy. He charge about 15000 ~ 25000 KW for co-ordinating the document attestation.

3. He will ask you to send him your India driving license and passport copy along with original license. After getting attestation of copies he will send you all documents including original by courier.

4. As you are in Seoul then activity of point 3 above you can do on your own. It is just less than 30 minutes job at Indian embassy. In this case you can speak to Mr. Das or ms. Jung at embassy on 02-7984-257/ 268 ext. 118 to get all details.

5. Once you get your documents attested just visit to your nearest Koran Driving License Office (in India we call it as RTO). There you will get your Korean Driving License on same day (in my case it happened less than 1.5 hrs at Ulsan). Note that your Indian driving license will be retained by them which you can collect back in future by showing your flight ticket and passport. Then you need not have to return your Indian license any more.

6. Getting adjusted to left hand drive will take less than a week if you drove car earlier.
