๐ฐ๐ท Global Apostille ยท Source: South Korea
Get South Korean documents apostilled by the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs for use in India, USA, Germany, Singapore, or any Hague country. End-to-end managed.
South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (์ธ๊ต๋ถ, MOFA) is the designated Competent Authority for all apostilles issued in Korea. Since joining the Hague Convention in 2007, Korea has built one of Asia's most efficient apostille systems. The Korean apostille process is now largely online โ many document types can be authenticated via the Korean government's apostille e-service portal, with physical apostille for certified paper documents available at MOFA offices.
Korean apostille is commonly needed in three situations: Indian law firms and CA firms handling Korean FDI investments into Indian companies (which require Korean corporate documents to be apostilled for Indian ROC), Korean nationals applying for Indian visas or OCI who need personal documents apostilled, and Indian professionals who worked in Korea and need Korean employment records authenticated for use in third countries like Germany, Australia, or the USA.
One important Korean-specific nuance: Korean civil registry documents (family relation certificates, basic certificates) are issued by the Ministry of Interior's resident registration system and must be specifically certified before MOFA apostille. GetNotary ensures the correct certification step is completed before submission.
A Hague apostille issued in this jurisdiction is recognised in all other Hague member countries without further embassy attestation.
We confirm whether the Korean document needs prior certification before MOFA apostille.
Our Korea-based agent submits to the correct MOFA office or via the e-apostille system where eligible.
