Korean name and address to English

Paste Hangul names or a Korean road-name address. You get the official romanization, common surname spellings, and the address in English order.

How it works

Korean names and addresses go into English forms all the time — hotel bookings, shipping labels, visa forms, marketplace seller profiles. The official system is the Revised Romanization of Korean, but surnames usually keep traditional spellings (Lee rather than I, Park rather than Bak).

Names: the tool romanizes without sound changes between syllables, as the official rule for personal names says, and shows a hyphenated form (Gil-dong). If you already have a passport, always use the passport spelling.

Addresses: write the road-name address as in Korean (province, city, district, road, number, building unit, postcode). The tool reverses it into English order — unit, number and road, district, city, province, postcode, Republic of Korea — and keeps sound changes inside place names (Jongno, Sillim) like the official address system. Compare with juso.go.kr before printing it on documents.

FAQ

Is it the same as the official English address?

Usually close, but building names and some road names have official English spellings. Check juso.go.kr.
