Korean Court Case Search Helper
Makes Korea's court case search easier: type your case number and it decodes the case type, then links you to the official site to look it up.
Type the case number exactly as printed on your court letter or text message.
Enter the full form with year, type and number.
Enter the party name exactly as on the court document — usually your own name.
Enter the case number first to finish preparing.
When the court page opens, do this
- 1Select the same court from the list (branch courts sit under their district court).
- 2Paste the copied case number and name into their fields.
- 3Type the characters shown in the image (anti-bot code), then press Search.
※ The actual lookup happens on the official Korean court website. This helper only prepares your input and links you there; it does not store or perform the search. The case-type reading is for reference.
🔒 What you enter stays in this browser and is never sent anywhere.
Just the case number
A Korean court letter or text shows a case number like 2024가단12345 — a filing year, a case-type code (가단, 고단, 드단…), and a number. Type it here and the helper explains what the code means (e.g. 가단 → civil single-judge case), so you don't need to know legal terms.
Search on the official site
It lays out the court, case number and party name, then opens the official Korean court case-search page in a new tab with big, clear step-by-step guidance for what to select and type.
Why it isn't looked up here
Case progress is personal information, so the courts require you to look it up yourself on the official site, including an anti-bot image code. This helper never fetches or stores your case data — it only makes the input easy and links you there. What you enter stays in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see the case details right here?
No. The actual lookup happens on the official Korean court site; this helper prepares your input and links you there.
Where do I find the case number?
On the court letter, text message or e-litigation notice — usually in the form 2024가단12345.
Why the image-character code?
The official site uses an anti-bot code you type by hand at the final step to prevent bulk automated lookups.
Is my information stored or sent?
No. The case number and name stay in your browser and are never sent or stored.
