About this tool
A Korean address to English converter turns a road-name address written in Hangul into the English order that overseas shopping sites, shipping forms and visa or school applications expect.
People often ask how to write a Korean address in English, and the main trick is the order: Korean addresses go from the largest area to the smallest, while English addresses start with the unit and street number and end with the city, province, ZIP code and country.
Start with the address search to get the official English address from the road-address database, then add building and unit details like 101-dong 1001-ho.
If you prefer typing, the manual converter reads your address, converts each place and road name with the Revised Romanization of Korean, and adds the usual suffixes such as -ro, -gil, -gu, -si and -dong.
Apartment and room details become 101-dong 1001-ho, and floors become 3F or B1F.
You get one full line and a breakdown for Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, State or Province, ZIP and Country, each with its own copy button.
How do you write 152 Teheran-ro in a form that has only two address lines? Put the number and road in line 1 and the unit and district in line 2.
Manual conversion runs by rules inside your browser, and the address you type there is not sent or saved. If you use address search, what you type is sent to the postcode search service.
Manual results are automatic romanization and a reference only.
ⓘ For official documents, note that this tool is unofficial and check the official English address on the government road-address site (juso.go.kr).
