An apostille is a certificate under the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention that allows a public document issued in one member state to be used in another member state without embassy legalisation. Korea has been a member since 2007, as are the USA, Japan, China, Canada and most European countries.

In Korea, documents issued by government agencies and schools receive their apostille from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while notarised documents follow a Ministry of Justice route. Private documents – employment certificates, translations, powers of attorney – must be notarised first before they can be apostilled. We identify the correct sequence (notarisation → apostille → translation) for your documents and handle every step.

  • Right route per documentWe check whether MOFA or MOJ issues the apostille and whether notarisation is needed first.
