- The support targets candidates applying for the first-half 2025 qualification exam.

What documents the GED application requires
Candidates applying for the first-half 2025 qualification exam must submit a set of civil records to complete registration, which can include identity documents and certificates of prior schooling or withdrawal. Gathering these documents within the application window can be a hurdle for applicants who are abroad, recently relocated, or otherwise unable to visit an issuing office in person. Apostille Korea says it issues the required records online so candidates can register on time without travelling to collect each certificate.
When documents cross borders
For candidates who must submit a Korean civil record to an institution abroad, or present a foreign document in Korea, the record also needs authentication. Where the destination country is a Hague Apostille member, the document is recognized once it carries an apostille; where it is not, foreign-ministry confirmation and embassy legalization apply, and a foreign-issued document is certified in the country that issued it. Apostille Korea arranges issuance, certified translation and the matching certification so the document is accepted at its destination.
