Police Certificate

I’m in the middle of getting all the paperwork in order for my wife’s visa application to Canada. One thing that we haven’t done and keep forgetting the correct Korean word for is the police check. You can find out the procedure for your country here for Korea go here or you can just follow these instructions which I’ve copied from the web site.


You should request a Criminal History Information Record – Bumjoi Gyung-ryuck ·Soosa Gyung-ryuck Jo Hoi Hoibo-seo (범죄경력 · 수사경력조회 회보서) – from the nearest police station. Please note that all police certificates must indicate that all records have been searched, including any lapsed records.

I worked in Korea for one year in 2006.  I am trying to emigrate to Canada from the U.S.A.  The Canadian gov’t says that I need the CHIR from the Korean police but I have no friends and family in Korea who can do this for me.  I cannot afford to fly to Seoul to try to obtain this record.  Do you know of anyone in Korea who speaks English and could help me?  I am willing to pay if someone would help me.  I have been to the Korean embassy in Ottawa and they gave me a power of attorney document to authorize someone in Korea to act on my behalf.  Thank you,  Carl
