Why Can Only Administrative Agents Issue Fact Confirmation Certificates in Korea?

Anyone can check facts, but issuing a fact confirmation certificate under Article 20 of the Administrative Agent Act is different. It is a document with a specific legal basis and statutory form. It is different from an attorney’s legal opinion, a private investigator’s report, and documents prepared by judicial scriveners or labor attorneys. The right document depends on the facts, the recipient institution, and the stage of the procedure.
