Apostille Korea has unveiled a new service for issuing degree certificates from US universities, letting users request, translate and certify their academic records remotely instead of dealing directly with each overseas institution.
- The new service issues degree certificates from US universities on the user's behalf.
- Issuance, certified translation and certification are arranged together, online.
- US-issued documents are authenticated in the US — by (local) apostille — before use in Korea.
- It is aimed at graduates and applicants who need verified US academic records for jobs, study or visas.
What the new service offers
Apostille Korea says the service responds to a steady need among US-university graduates who must produce an official degree certificate for Korean employers, schools or immigration filings. Rather than contacting a distant registrar, arranging international mail and tracking delivery, a user submits one request and the company coordinates issuance, adds a certified translation and completes the matching certification. Because the certificate originates in the United States, a Hague Apostille Convention member, it is authenticated there with a (local) apostille before a Korean institution will accept it.
Why remote handling matters
For many applicants the hardest part is not the document itself but the distance: time-zone gaps, unfamiliar registrar procedures and shipping delays can stretch a simple request into weeks. By moving issuance, translation, notarization and certification online, Apostille Korea says users can assemble a verified academic file without travel and within a hiring or admission deadline. Where the document is destined for a non-Hague country instead of Korea, the route shifts to foreign-ministry processing and embassy legalization, which the company also handles.
