    How do I search for a company by name in South Korea?

    Search the legal name on DART / Supreme Court Registry, or use LemReveal's free basic lookup where supported. Treat name matches as candidates until the exact identifier and available identity details agree. Fields such as Business registration number, Corporate name (Korean/English), Legal form, Headquarters address depend on the source; official access and fees vary.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Enter the legal name

      Start with the legal name on the contract. Try a distinctive part only if the source supports partial-name searches; trading names may require a separate source.

    2. 2

      Narrow ambiguous matches

      Common names return several entities. Use the registered address, incorporation date, or entity type (주식회사 (Jusik Hoesa / Stock Company), 유한회사 (Yuhan Hoesa / Limited Company), 유한책임회사 (LLC equivalent)) to identify the right one.

    3. 3

      Open the candidate record

      Compare the exact identifier and available fields. If identity is uncertain, keep the match unresolved rather than selecting the first result.

    4. 4

      Cross-check against DART / Supreme Court Registry

    South Korea: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use DART for corporate disclosures and filings in its scope. For a legal registration check, consult the relevant registration service rather than assuming every small Korean business must appear in DART.
    Confirm the entity
    Keep a DART company code separate from a corporate registration number and a business registration number. Compare the Korean legal name and the entity behind an English brand name.

    Check current access and document options on the official DART / Supreme Court Registry site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the South Korea registry guide.
