Registering your Imported Vehicle
If you are assigned to any of the posts in Area 1, your car must be registered at Camp Casey. If you have imported your vehicle, you have 10 days to do this. Make sure you have a screw driver or necessary equipment to remove your temporary tags and put on your permanent ones .
Please note: ONLY sponsors are authorized to register POVs. No…your POA (Power of Attorney) will not work in this case, per USFK REG 190-1.
Required Items for Registration:
- Korean Customs Import Document (SOFA Document)
- USFK Driver’s License
- Safety Inspection Certificate
- Proof of Insurance
- Proof of Vehicle Ownership (Previous Title/Registration)
- ID Card and Orders
- Temporary License Plates
- If this is a second vehicle, you will need your approval letter from your command
1. Go to the Visitor’s Bldg on the right by the main gate of Camp Casey to obtain your Temporary (One Day) Pass. Be sure to have your military ID, Proof of Insurance and US Vehicle Registration/Title with you.
2. If your vehicle is older than 2 years old, you will need a Safety Inspection, which is done at Camp Mobile, across the street from Camp Casey’s main gate. This will cost you $20.00.
3. After that is complete, you need to go to building 2440 (Maude Hall), at Camp Casey to begin the registration process. Forms are available outside the office for you to fill out. Take all items listed above, EXCEPT your temporary plates, with you to Vehicle Registration. The clerk will begin your registration. He will give you a personal copy and give you a copy that you need to take to City Hall. You will receive a map with the directions on how to get there.
4. When you arrive at City Hall be sure to take your temporary tags from your vehicle with you, along with the paperwork that needs to be stamped. Go into the Annex on the right. Once you have turned in your tags and had your paperwork stamped, you will be directed to the License Plate store, where you will go to purchase your plates.
5. The License Plate store is on the same street as City Hall and is clearly marked in English. Don’t forget to bring some Won with you (about 20,000) to pay for your new license plates. The gentleman will need to see your paperwork from City Hall also.
6. Once the plates are on your vehicle, you need to head back to Maude Hall to finish the registration process and to get your sticker for the windshield of your vehicle.
7. This sticker may take a day to become active in the system so that you get a DING at the gate instead of a BEEP BEEP BEEP.
Just bought and registered a used car. Bought in Seoul. Safety inspection done at Camp Kim. Also issued a 10 day temporary access pass to Yongsan and all of Area I. Followed directions above with no problems. At city hall I had to go across parking lot and buy a 3,000W stamp for the official paperwork. Then drove car, sans license, about 200m to the license store. They will try to sell metal frames for your license at 6,000W apiece. You only need 18,000 for your license plates which they will install. After that back to Maude hall and a decal. Total time was under three hours.
