Example
Example: a rear-end collision in Busan settled for ₩1,500,000
Daniel Brooks (fictitious), an English teacher living in Busan, ran into the back of a car waiting at a light on 2 November 2026. The other driver, 홍길동, had a sore neck for a week. They agree on ₩1,500,000, paid by 20 November, and sign on 9 November. The time, place and what happened are typed in Korean, since they are printed exactly as typed.
- What happened: Traffic accident. Victim (갑) 홍길동, offender (을) Daniel Brooks, each with address and phone. The ID lines, printed as 주민번호, can stay blank to be filled in by hand.
- Time 오후 6시 30분경; place 부산광역시 해운대구 예시로 12 앞 교차로; what happened 신호 대기 중이던 갑의 차량을 을의 차량이 뒤에서 추돌함.
- Settlement 1,500,000, pay by 2026-11-20. 처벌불원 stays ticked, as it starts; after-effects settled separately stays ticked; confidentiality stays off.

|---|---|
| 제1조 (합의금) | 을 pays 갑 금 일백오십만원정(₩1,500,000) for the accident |
| 제2조 (지급 방법) | paid into the account 갑 names, by 2026년 11월 20일 |
| 제3조 (처벌불원) | 갑 does not want 을 punished and agrees to the paper going to the police or a court |
| 제4조 (후유장해) | an after-effect found later is settled between them separately |
| 제5조 (부제소) | 갑 confirms the damage is settled and will raise no further civil or criminal claim |
합의서.pdf, one A4 page headed 합 의 서 and dated 2026년 11월 9일, with name, address, phone and ID lines and (인) for each side. Print two, both sign both, each keeps one. Unticking 처벌불원 and the after-effects box would leave only 합의금, 지급 방법 and 부제소. It is a template, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
- What is 처벌불원?
- The victim’s statement that they do not want the other party punished; for some offences it ends the prosecution.
- Is this legal advice?
- No, it is a template.
- Can I type the names in English?
- Yes. Names, addresses and phone numbers are printed as you type them, in any alphabet. The articles are always in Korean, and the time, place and what happened are printed exactly as typed, so write those in Korean.
- Why is the sum written as 금 일백오십만원정?
- Korean agreements write a sum in 한글 numerals with every unit, with the figure beside it, so it cannot be changed afterwards. Type 1,500,000 or 1500000 and both forms are filled in for you.
- Which articles go in?
- 합의금, 지급 방법 and 부제소 (no further claims) always, the last one at the end. 처벌불원 and confidentiality follow their boxes, and the after-effects article is offered only for a traffic accident. Each line of “Other terms” becomes a 특약 article of its own, before 부제소.
- Is what I type uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser.
