  "title": "South Korea First-Time Adult Passport Application",
  "description": "First application for a South Korean passport by an adult (18 or older) who does not currently hold a valid, unexpired Korean passport, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' passport service. South Korea uses a single universal paper form (여권 발급 신청서, 별지 제1호서식 — Passport Act Enforcement Rule Article 3, Attached Form No. 1) for first-time issuance, in-person reissuance, and name/photo-change reissuance alike; this document models the fields on that form as used by a first-time adult applicant with no existing passport to surrender. It is filed in person or via an authorized regional passport office/agency — the online 정부24/KB스타뱅킹 reissuance channels are confirmed (passport.go.kr) to be available only to applicants who already hold a passport, so first-time applicants cannot use them. It does not submit the application; the live passport.go.kr source is always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md).",

Both documents are served through a JavaScript canvas/blob-image viewer (StreamDocs) with no static text layer or direct download URL; every field, section label, and instructional note cited in this schema's sourceRef values was read directly from full-page renders of that viewer (Playwright + Chromium, page images read via vision), not inferred from prose summaries. Corroborated against passport.go.kr's own reissuance FAQ page, which confirms the online channel is restricted to applicants who already hold a passport — first-time applicants must use this same paper form in person. Structurally modeled after nz/dia/passport-application-first-adult (eligibility-gated first-time scope, PII/sensitive-pii classification split, single free-text address compression for third parties). Status remains 'draft' pending an independent second reviewer's field-by-field pass."
