Corporate Registration Apostille for China
Korean corporate registration certificates for use in mainland China take a standard Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) apostille. China is a Hague Apostille Convention party, so the old OKA authentication plus Chinese Embassy/Consulate legalization (领事认证) chain is not the normal route. This is used for establishing a WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise) or JV (Joint Venture) with SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation), opening Chinese corporate bank accounts, and executing commercial contracts. Translation requirements and any extra local formalities are decided by the receiving authority, so confirm with it.
