Government permit found and active
Matched by issuing area, licence type and licence number: this government record's management number carries the same year and sequence as the licence number you entered.
Government record updated: 2026-05-11
The permit is on file. These checks show whether it belongs to the listing you plan to book.
서인당 · seoindang
This is the business name the host registered with the local government, not the Airbnb title, so it is often shorter or different. Look for it in the listing title, description or host profile.
종로구 계동 · jongrogu gyedong
It is the first line of Airbnb’s Registration details box (Region of issuance).
If the name or area does not fit, ask the host to confirm this permit belongs to this listing before you book.

On a phone, touch and hold the text, then move the selection handles to include every line and tap Copy. If the app will not let you select text, try opening the listing in your browser. On a computer, drag across the whole block and copy it.
Do not copy only “1729”. Keep the issuing region, licence type and licence number together.
Example added. Choose Check registration to run the lookup.
Permanent example
This example uses La Maison719, one of the properties already in the SelectBNBs catalog. It shows the official permit record and the separate listing-match conclusion exactly as our lookup reports them.

SelectBNBs uses API access issued by Korea's Public Data Portal to retrieve accommodation permit records published by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. Each result includes its government dataset and record update time.
What the check does
Korean booking listings may show a local permit number, business category, issuing region, registered name, or management number. The strongest results come from pasting the full block rather than one short number.
Copy and paste every line of the Registration details box from Airbnb, including the issuing region, licence type and licence number.
SelectBNBs checks eight accommodation permit categories from Korea's Public Data Portal and returns the matching government source.
The result shows the registered business, permit category, operating status, address, permit date, management number, and source update time when available.
Two answers stay separate. The government record tells you whether a permit exists and its reported operating status. The listing match tells you whether the details supplied identify that same registered business.
Common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Give it the registration details copied from Airbnb. An assistant that can open web pages can read the result at selectbnbs.com/verify/?q= followed by the details, URL-encoded. An assistant with an HTTP tool can use the public API instead. Both return 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
