Lost Dan Certificate from Korea

[AKaminski86]

hey guys I’m hoping someone can help me out.
I received my 1 st Dan Black belt in 1999 from Master Young Yea Academy in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Unfortunately my certificate was water damaged and is destroyed. My question is who can I contact directly to order a new one?
If anyone can help me out they would be much appreciated, thanks guys.

Do you remember if your master was part of any organization, or what style of tkd you practiced?

World Taekwond Federation and mostly self defence style of Taekwondo... if that’s what you mean by style.

The WTF (now WT) was what I was looking for. There is a very good chance that you are registered as a first dan with the kukkiwon then, so they may have a copy of your certificate. @skribs or @andyjeffries may be able to help you with how to get that.

Hey thanks so much, and yes I am! I actually looked my self up site enough, there I was. So I have my poom/dan number. And if the people you tagged here are willing to help then I’ll provide the number, and it would be greatly appreciated! To be honest I’m actually getting a job with the Ontario Provincial Police and they want all Sort of certifications that I may have, so this is pretty important . Thanks for the reply.

Keep in mind I'm not sure either of them will be able to help you get the certificate, but they are much more likely than most of the active members, since they both teach in that style. Good luck with everything!

I don't think you need anyone's help. Here's a link that says you can get one by mail. (Remember me if you ever pull me over!)

It doesn't say on here what the fee is, but I had to do this in 2015 because a parent gave us the wrong birthdate , and the replacement fee at that time was USD $15, payable by cash or check. For that, they also wanted a copy of the passport or photo ID, but I think that was to prove the birthdate needed to be corrected; it doesn't look like they're asking for that here.

I inferred from the FAQ above the one posted that the fee is 4000-8000 won. (I couldn't click both to show both).

That website is really badly put together, and confusing. I just contacted taekwondo Canada see what they can help me with.
The Kukkiwon website has no email contact and I just don’t get what they want me to do.
Thanks tho.

8000 won is about USD $7. I'm not sure what the other $8 was for, maybe shipping? But I just sent the info they wanted and a check for $15 to the address listed there, and in about 2 months, got the new certificate.

Did you end up going through the KKW directly or perhaps TKD Canada?
