Corporate Registration Apostille for Vietnam
Korean corporate registration certificates (법인등기부등본) for Vietnam now take a standard Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) apostille. Viet Nam's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention entered into force on 11 September 2026, so the old OKA authentication plus Vietnamese Embassy legalization chain is no longer the normal route. This is used for FDI company registration, opening Vietnamese corporate bank accounts, and establishing branches or subsidiaries under Vietnamese law. Because the change is recent, confirm with the Vietnamese receiving authority whether it also needs a certified Vietnamese translation or other formalities.

- 1Obtain the 법인등기부등본 from the Korean Court Registry (대법원 등기소)
- 2OKA apostille (재외동포청)
