Frequently Asked Questions

Does the UK accept Korean apostilles after Brexit?

Yes. The UK re-acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention in 2021, so Korean MOFA apostilles are fully recognized by UK authorities including UKVI, courts, and universities.

Do I need a certified translation with my Korean apostille for the UK?

Yes, for most UK submissions. UKVI, universities, and professional bodies require a certified English translation. The apostille certifies the Korean source document is genuine; the translation makes it understandable to UK authorities.
