Apostilling Korean documents for use in the United States is one of the most common legalization requests we handle. Whether you need a birth certificate for a US visa application, a diploma verified for employment, or a criminal background check apostilled for immigration purposes, our experts manage the entire process with Korean government authorities.
Which Korean documents can be apostilled for the USA?
Any document issued by a Korean government authority can be apostilled, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, academic transcripts, criminal background checks, corporate registrations, and court documents.
How long does Korean apostille for the USA take?
Standard processing through MOFA takes 3–5 business days. Express options are available for 1–2 business day turnaround. Total time including shipping depends on your location.
Do I need a certified translation alongside the apostille for the USA?
Yes, for most US authorities. USCIS, federal courts, universities, and state agencies require a certified English translation of Korean documents in addition to the apostille stamp.
Can I get an apostille without being in Korea?
Yes. With a properly executed power of attorney, our experts can process your apostille remotely. Your original documents can be sent by courier or we can often work with certified copies.
