FAQ 45Operator answerPosted Oct 4, 2026
I heard it might be covered by insurance that I don't know about?
Machine-translated from Korean. Check numbers and agency names against the original.
Many cities and counties purchase citizen safety insurance on behalf of their residents.
Insurance premiums are paid by the city or county, and many registered foreigners are included.
In Seoul, Incheon, and Yongin, registered foreigners are also automatically enrolled.
Even if you don't live here, you may find it included, so search for 'Citizen Safety Insurance' on the city hall or county office website.
Enrollment is automatic, but if you don't claim it even if you have an accident, you won't receive it.
