Apostille Korea has introduced a worldwide one-stop service for academic documents issued by Korean schools, helping graduates who must submit diplomas, transcripts or graduation records to institutions abroad by handling issuance, translation, notarization and the matching certification together online.
- The service is for graduates submitting Korean-school academic records abroad.
- It covers diplomas, transcripts and graduation or enrolment certificates.
- Certification follows the destination: apostille for a Hague member, embassy legalization for a non-member.
- Apostille Korea handles issuance, translation, notarization and certification in one online process.
Why Korean academic documents need certification abroad
When a graduate of a Korean school submits a diploma, transcript or graduation certificate to an overseas university, employer or government body, the receiving institution generally accepts it only after it has been officially authenticated. The route depends on the destination country: an apostille where it belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention, or embassy legalization where it does not, usually attached to a certified translation. Because requirements differ by country and by institution, confirming the exact standard before submitting helps avoid a rejected document.
How the worldwide one-stop service works
Apostille Korea consolidates the steps a graduate would otherwise complete separately — obtaining the academic record, translating it, notarizing the translation and securing the apostille or legalization the destination requires — into one online process that reaches institutions worldwide. The company says this lets graduates prepare a complete, correctly certified document set from anywhere, without travelling between a school, a translation office and the certification authority in person.
