Hello.
So I was born and live in USA and got my Korean passport a few years ago (backstreet at bottom). Bottom line. Can I get a ID card (like a drivers license/permanent residence/like a green card/whatever they call it) if I only have a korean passport? I tried looking for answers but no one really addressed this. If anyone can help guide me on the answer, that would me awesome.
FYI: I am male, 37, Korean, born in USA, have citizenship/passport to both USA and Korea (dual citizenship – which is apparently illegal).
Backstory:
Parents born in korea, immigrated to USA, I was born in USA, parents didn’t strike/disown me from family tree before 18 (basically korean law says if any of your parents are born in korea, their male children have to serve in Korean army no matter where they were born… found out all of this when almost got conscripted when i had a layover flight after the army), i joined US Army, renounced Korean citizenship (US military requirement), finished US army, went on vacation, almost got conscripted because of layover flight, went to Korean embassy at Los Angeles (worst than California DMV), took a couple of weeks filling in paperwork and 6 seperate trips, somehow got my korean passport even though the embassy knew i had an american passport (cause dual citizenshipwas not allowed in korea. Never had to renouce american citizenship), never used korean passport, and now having thoughts of moving to korea.
If you have questions, let me know. Thanks in advance
