Every country has its own collecting body, its own filing calendar and its own way of certifying that a company is up to date. In South Korea, these elements form part of the file of every firm listed by the network.
The social security clearance certificate is the document that sums everything up: at a given moment it states whether the company has filed and paid. It is also the one that expires soonest, and the first the network asks its partners to renew. The table of documents below indicates which body issues it in South Korea and under which wording to apply for it.
A Korean firm must show how it covers both reserved areas. The registration certificate of a 공인노무사 answers for the social side, that of a 세무사 or 공인회계사 for the tax side; failing either, the agreement concluded with a title holder is produced. Add the full company register extract, a reissued business registration certificate, both national and local no-arrears tax certificates, the single certificate confirming payment of the four social insurances, and the corporate seal certificate. Both titles may sit within one firm, but that arrangement must be documented.
