Family Register Apostille for Vietnam
Korean family register documents (가족관계증명서, 기본증명서) 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 spousal visa applications, civil registration, adoption, and inheritance proceedings involving Vietnamese authorities. Because the change is recent, confirm with the Vietnamese receiving authority whether it also needs a certified Vietnamese translation or other formalities.
