Birth Certificate Apostille for India
Korean birth certificates for use in India take a standard Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) apostille. India is a Hague Apostille Convention party, so the old OKA authentication plus Indian Embassy attestation chain is not the normal route. This is used for Indian work visa applications, OCI card applications, academic and professional use, marriage to an Indian national, and inheritance proceedings. Translation requirements and any extra local formalities are decided by the receiving authority, so confirm with it.
