Local rules to check in South Korea
OnlyPaw verifies your identity, service documents and knowledge test. Separately, paid pet care in South Korea may involve local registrations or permits such as:
- 주민등록증 또는 운전면허증
- 사업자등록증 (간이과세자 or 일반과세자)
- 동물위탁관리업 등록 (반려동물 위탁·미용·운송 시 필수)
- 범죄경력회보서
- 반려동물행동지도사 자격 우대
동물보호법에 따라 반려동물 위탁·미용·운송 서비스는 시·군·구청 동물위탁관리업 등록이 필요합니다. 사업자등록은 홈택스에서 온라인 가능. OnlyPaw 팀이 등록 절차를 안내해드립니다.
