Apostille for South Korea – What You Need to Know

If you need to use a U.S. document in South Korea, it must be certified with an Apostille. South Korea is a member of the Hague Convention, which means it accepts the Apostille as the official method for legalizing documents for international use.

An Apostille certifies the authenticity of a state notary’s or county official’s signature. Once apostilled, your U.S. document is legally valid for use in South Korea without requiring any further legalization from the South Korea Embassy or Consulate.

Common U.S. Documents Apostilled for Use in South Korea:

• Birth Certificates

• Marriage Certificates

• Divorce Decrees

• Academic Diplomas and Transcripts

• Power of Attorney

• Single Status Declarations

• FBI Background Checks

• Adoption Documents

• Corporate and Business Documents

• Wills and Legal Affidavits

If your destination country were not a member of the Hague Convention, you’d need a more complex Authentication process. But for Spain, the Apostille alone is sufficient.
