1. What is the confirmed date?
The confirmed date is a system in which a third party can acknowledge that a contract existed by receiving public confirmation of the contents of the contract after signing a housing contract.
This plays an important role in preventing various legal disputes that may arise in the rental relationship in the future.
This system, which is especially helpful in getting your deposit back and protecting your tenancy rights, can be easily applied for online.
2. How to receive confirmed date (online)
In order to receive a confirmed date online, you need to prepare a few things in advance. First, you need a public certificate.
A public certificate is a means of verifying your identity through the Internet. All you have to do is obtain an electronic signature certificate that can verify your real name from a commercial financial institution.
In addition to issuing a public certificate, you can apply online in earnest once you have a contract and your ID card ready.
Easy online application with confirmed date
You can obtain a confirmed date online through the Korean Court Internet Registry website. Click Apply in the ‘Confirmed Date’ menu to proceed.
3. How to apply for a confirmed date
If you are visiting this webpage for the first time, you must first register as a member. When registering as a member, you must go through an identity verification process using a public certificate.
Sign up for official website
After registering as a member, if you go to the confirmed date menu, a page to fill out an application will appear. Enter the contents of the contract on this page and submit the contract as an attachment.
The contract must include the personal information of the landlord and tenant, period, deposit, and monthly rent.
Additionally, the contract must be signed or sealed. After completing your entries, click the Submit button to submit your application.
Authenticate yourself with a public certificate
After submitting the application, you must proceed with the identity verification process using a public certificate. Through identity verification, we confirm that the applicant is actually a party to the contract.
Once identity verification is complete with a public certificate, a confirmation message will appear indicating that your application has been received. This message includes a receipt number, so it’s a good idea to note it down or capture it.
Check processing results
After your application is received, you can check the processing result. Processing is usually completed within a few days, and the results will be notified to the contact information provided at the time of application.
You can also access the official website and check through the ‘Application Processing Details View’ menu.
Go to the official website
Once the processing results are complete, you can download the file with the confirmed date written on the contract. Please keep this file safe as you can print it out and use it later when needed.
3. When to receive the confirmed date and when it takes effect
Let’s take a closer look at when to receive it after signing a contract and at what point it takes effect.
When to receive it
It is a process to publicly confirm the contents of the contract, and it is recommended to receive it as soon as possible after signing the contract to protect the tenant’s rights.
You can receive it from the day the contract is signed, and it is recommended to receive it immediately after moving at the latest.
This is to obtain an advantageous position in various legal disputes that may arise in the future by obtaining the contract as soon as possible from the date of signing the contract.
When to take effect
It takes effect from the date of receipt. This means that the existence of a rental contract can be legally recognized by a third party from the date the contract is stamped.
For example, when the landlord suddenly sells or creditors try to sell the property at auction, the tenant who has received a fixed date has the right to protect the deposit.
Relevant legal protections
A contract with a fixed date strongly protects the rights of the tenant by law.
First of all, according to the Housing Lease Protection Act, when a tenant receives a fixed date, he or she has the right to receive the deposit repayment with priority over subordinated rights holders established after that date.
This will have a huge impact on the return of the tenant’s deposit, especially if it goes to auction. Because the right to priority repayment is legally recognized based on that date, it is important to receive it as soon as possible.
4. Things to watch out for
Because the fixed date plays a very important role in protecting tenant rights, there are several things to keep in mind.
Check required items when writing a contract
The personal information of the lessor and the lessee, the address of the object, the period, deposit and monthly rent, and the date of contract conclusion must be clearly stated. Each person’s signature or seal must be included.
Preparation of public certificate
To apply online, you must obtain and prepare a public certificate in advance and check the validity period of the public certificate.
When to apply
You should receive it as soon as possible after signing the contract, and preferably immediately after moving at the latest.
Where and how to apply
You can apply through a community center, court, or online registry office. If you visit a community center or court, you must bring your ID and original contract.
Additionally, when applying online, you must verify your identity using a public certificate on the Internet Registry website before applying.
Check processing results after application
After applying, it is a good idea to receive the application number and check the processing results. If you apply online, you can check the results on the Internet Registry Office website.
After processing is completed, download and store the contract with the confirmed date.
When receiving a confirmed date, you must pay attention to writing a contract, preparing a public certificate, applying quickly, knowing where and how to apply, and checking the processing results. This ensures that tenant rights are protected.
Above we have learned about how to receive a confirmed date online. Isn’t it simpler than you think? This is an easy procedure that anyone can do as long as they have the necessary supplies.
It’s a great way to save time, especially in your busy life. It is an important means of protecting your rental agreement, so please do not forget to take it with you.
