I purchased a second hand apartment at the beginning of this year.
6 months later the realtor has contacted me by text message, not a formal email, asking if I could provide a copy of my updated juminhyo at my new address at the sellers request.
The seller was a company that buys older flats then refurbs and resells. I asked the agent if providing such private documents was a common practice and what the purpose of the document? The agent was slow to come back to me and eventually said it related to the seller recovering acquisition tax if they can provide my residence certificate.
I thought someone here might be able to identify if this request was for legitimate purposes. I am hesitant to just handover copies of my personal documents.
