Apostille Service for Korea: Notarized Korean Document Authentication in NY & NJ | 뉴욕 공증 및 아포스티유 대행 |
We provide Apostille service for notarized documents, including certified Korean translation documents prepared by our company, to be submitted in Korea.
An Apostille is an authentication of a public document issued pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. The Convention provides for the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that are parties to the convention. The Republic of Korea is one of those countries. The Apostille ensures that public documents issued in one signatory country will be recognized as valid in another signatory country.

Our Apostille Process
The most common documents that we provide Apostille service for are 1) certified translations (with a notarized affidavit of translator attached) prepared by our company, and 2) powers of attorney and other legal documents signed by the customer for submission to a Korean institution or government agency. The standard Apostille process is as follows:
-
- Documents are prepared (e.g. certified Korean translation documents or legal document(s) to be signed by customer).
- For legal document(s) notarization, an appoint is made for document signing by the customer and notarization of the signature(s) by our notary public.
- We notarize legal document(s) signed by the customer or certified Korean translation(s) prepared by our company and signed by our translator.
- We obtain notary authentication from the county Clerk’s Office.
- We obtain Apostille certification from the New York Department of State.
- We ship the document to you by Priority Mail. (Shipping is free on Apostille orders of 3 documents or more.)
