About the register

Internet Registry Office (Supreme Court of Korea)

Known locally as 인터넷등기소.

South Korea keeps its company register inside the court system. Legal-entity registration is a judicial registry service, and the Supreme Court's internet-based registration services, introduced between 2003 and 2007, allow registry records to be accessed online without visiting a court. The public gateway is the Internet Registry Office (인터넷등기소) at iros.go.kr, and since 2023 electronic registration certificates can be issued in PDF format and submitted to recipient authorities through an electronic document wallet.

Corporate disclosure lives in a separate system. DART, the Data Analysis, Retrieval and Transfer System operated by the Financial Supervisory Service, is the electronic disclosure repository through which companies submit filings that become immediately available to investors, including annual and semi-annual reports, audit reports and major shareholding reports for issuers on the KOSPI, KOSDAQ and KONEX markets.

For compliance work the two systems answer different questions: the court registry holds a company's registered particulars, while DART carries the disclosure record of listed and reporting companies, and major shareholding reports are filed there. The Company Records report for South Korea includes a Registry Extract and a List of Major Stockholders.
