About our office
QWhat kinds of work can I entrust to an administrative agent?
An administrative agent handles administrative work on your behalf, such as preparing documents submitted to administrative agencies and filing them for you, applications for permits, licenses, and reports, immigration and stay (visa) matters, naturalization and nationality, motor vehicle and real estate registration, and authentication of documents for submission abroad (apostille and consular legalization).

Yes. Hwang Yunsang Administrative Office prepares administrative appeal petitions and applications for a stay of execution, organizes supporting materials and files them on your behalf, and also prepares supplementary briefs.

QCan I get a consultation in a foreign language?
Yes. In writing, through messaging apps such as KakaoTalk and by email, we can handle every consultation in your language. We can also consult in conversation using real-time translation on Meta smart glasses. Our website provides information in 16 languages including Korean: English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, Indonesian, Uzbek, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Swedish.
