As a U.S. citizen, I’d like to sponsor my siblings in Korea.

    You’ll need the following, issued by a Korean court:

    1. A family census register (jeojeok deungbon) — a document showing parents + older sibling + younger sibling (i.e., showing parents + yourself + spouse + children + siblings + siblings’ spouses + siblings’ children).

    2. Your sibling’s [family relation certificate] — a document showing parents + sibling couple + children.

    In other words:
    *You need a document proving the family relationship among parents + older sibling + younger sibling
    *For the sibling’s family, you need a family relation certificate showing the sibling couple + children.

    **Both documents must be [translated and notarized].

    There are many places near and around Korean courts that offer notarization and translation services — you can request the [documents needed for sibling sponsorship] and have them translated there.
