How do I check an Airbnb registration number in Korea?
Copy the whole Registration details box from Airbnb and paste it into the form above. Include the issuing region, licence type and licence number. SelectBNBs searches eight official accommodation permit datasets and shows any matching records, their status and source dates.
Where can I find the Airbnb registration details?
Look for Registration details on the listing, often near the Things to know section. The layout and labels can vary. Copy the whole block, including the issuing area, permit type and number. If you cannot find it, ask the host where the Registration details box appears on the listing.
What is a rural homestay permit?
Rural homestay, 농어촌민박업, is one of the accommodation categories published in Korea's LOCALDATA permit feed. A found record reports the business's official status; category-specific operating conditions may still apply.
Why does a short permit number fail to match?
Short local numbers can repeat and the central feed is keyed by a longer management number. Copy the whole Registration details box from Airbnb so the issuing region, licence type and number stay together.
Does an active permit prove an Airbnb in Korea is legal?
An active record shows that a registered business is permitted in the stated category as of the source date. Compare the separate listing-match result, name and address with the place you plan to reserve. A permit lookup cannot confirm every operating condition, guest eligibility rule or current safety condition.
Is the Airbnb listing ID or a business registration number the same as a permit number?
No. The number in an Airbnb listing URL identifies a page on Airbnb. A Korean tax business registration number is also different from an accommodation permit. Use the accommodation registration details on the listing. A government record may have both a local permit number and a longer management number.
What should I do if no permit record is found?
A missing match does not establish that a stay is illegal. Names can differ, short numbers may be ambiguous, and records can be outside the covered categories or awaiting an update. Check that you copied the whole Registration details box from Airbnb. If it still does not match, contact the host or the issuing local authority.
Can I check a stay in Seoul, Busan or Jeju that is not on SelectBNBs?
Yes. The search uses official Korean permit data, so a stay does not need to be in our collection. Coverage depends on its permit category and the latest available source records. You can run up to five free checks per connection per day.
Can an AI assistant check my Airbnb registration for me?
Yes, if it has an HTTP tool that can submit a request or a browser tool that can use this form. Give it the registration details copied from Airbnb. The public API returns the permit record, source date and a separate listing-match result. No login or API key is needed for the five free checks per public IP per UTC day. An assistant limited to reading search results cannot run a new lookup. Agent instructions
