# Korea internet: foreign residents

> Ask the selected provider which documents and contract conditions apply to the individual applicant.

Mobile-service guidance and resident-registration reporting are not universal fixed-internet document rules.

## Which identity documents should be prepared?

Ask the provider which identity documents it accepts and whether additional confirmation is needed.

The guide does not collect document numbers or create a nationwide list of mandatory foreign-resident documents. Record the provider answer before bringing originals or copies.

## Who will hold and manage the contract?

Confirm the applicant, billing party and authority for any representative application.

A landlord-included service can have a different contract holder. Ask who may request changes, transfers or termination and how that authority is checked.

## What should be kept from the agreement?

Keep the stated term, recurring charges, one-time costs and conditions in a form that can be checked later.

Ask about an explanation you can understand and reconcile it with the actual agreement. A translated summary is not a separate promise about eligibility or exemption.

### Does a residence category approve signup?

The selection changes questions only; the provider confirms the individual application.

### Must document numbers be entered?

No identifier field is provided; selections stay in the browser.

Fixed-internet conditions need their own applicable source and provider confirmation.

### Does Government24 cover every resident address change?

Check the public procedure applicable to the individual status; do not infer immigration procedures from resident-registration guidance.

Use official Smartchoice information and compare the complete written quote on the same period.
