법인등기부등본 Apostille for 미국

Korean corporate registration certificates (법인등기부등본) apostilled for the United States are required for registering a US subsidiary of a Korean company, opening US bank accounts in the company name, executing US contracts, and participating in US government procurement. USCIS also requires company documentation for certain employment-based visa petitions.

자주 묻는 질문

Which Korean corporate document do I need apostilled for setting up a US subsidiary?

The 법인등기부등본 (corporate registry certificate) is the primary document. US states may also require the 정관 (articles of incorporation) and sometimes 주주명부 (shareholder register). Our experts confirm the full document set for your specific US state and purpose.

Does an apostilled Korean corporate document need to be recertified if the company information changes?

If the company information has changed since the document was issued (new directors, address, etc.), you should obtain a fresh 법인등기부등본 reflecting current information before apostilling. Most US authorities require current-state documentation.

Do I need an apostilled Korean corporate registration for USCIS L-1 or EB-1C petitions?

Yes. USCIS L-1 intracompany transferee and EB-1C multinational executive petitions require evidence of the Korean company's existence, structure, and relationship with the US entity. Apostilled Korean corporate documents with certified translations are standard supporting evidence.
