I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question. I'm having a hard time finding the information I need anywhere. I'm hoping someone could help me.
I got my Canadian citizenship several years ago and lost my Korean citizenship as a result. Now, what would I need to do to get my birth certificate (I believe it's called "basic certificate" in South Korea)? I've searched and searched the embassy website until my eyes started to cross.
I do not have any family members in Korea that could go to registry and apply for the said document on my behalf either.

Did you try enquiring about the same over email?
