Apostille Korea has launched a global academic-credential verification service that allows institutions and individuals to confirm the authenticity of foreign diplomas, transcripts and degrees and to prepare them for official submission abroad, as cross-border hiring and study increase demand for reliable checks on overseas qualifications.
- The service verifies foreign diplomas, transcripts and degree certificates across many countries.
- It serves employers, schools and applicants who need confidence in an overseas qualification.
- Verified credentials can be combined with translation and the correct certification for use abroad.
- Apostille Korea consolidates verification, translation, notarization and certification online.
What the verification service covers
The service is built for situations where a foreign academic credential must be trusted before a decision is made — a hiring committee weighing an overseas degree, a university reviewing a transfer applicant, or an individual who must prove a qualification for a licence or visa. Rather than each party contacting issuing institutions on its own, Apostille Korea checks the diploma, transcript or degree certificate and confirms that it was genuinely issued. Because qualifications come from many different education systems, the company built the service to handle credentials from a broad range of countries through a single request, reducing the time and uncertainty of verifying records issued far from where they are being submitted.
Turning a verified credential into a submittable document
Verification answers whether a credential is authentic, but a record usually also has to be accepted by an institution in another country. Apostille Korea therefore pairs verification with a certified translation and the matching certification: an apostille when the issuing country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, or embassy legalization when it is not, with notarization where required. By handling the whole sequence online, the company delivers both an assurance of authenticity and a finished document set, so an applicant or institution can submit the credential to the relevant authority without managing several separate offices.
Frequently asked questions
Which credentials can be verified?
Foreign diplomas, academic transcripts and degree certificates from a broad range of countries.
Is verification the same as legalization?
No. Verification confirms a credential is genuine; legalization (apostille or embassy legalization) makes the document acceptable for official use in another country. The service can do both.
Who is the service for?
Employers, universities and individuals who need to rely on a foreign academic credential for hiring, admissions, licensing or immigration.
