Licensed Administrative Attorney Experts
What this category covers
Korean Administrative Agents (행정사, haengjeongsa) are government-licensed professionals who prepare, submit, and manage official administrative filings on behalf of clients. For foreigners in or relocating to South Korea, a 행정사 is often the single point of contact for the entire document chain — visa applications and status changes, certified Korean translation of foreign-language documents, and apostille authentication for overseas paperwork submitted to Korean authorities. Rather than coordinating three separate service providers, many clients find that one experienced 행정사 handles all three end-to-end at a fraction of the cost of hiring an immigration lawyer. 행정사 with the Verified badge on Expert Sapiens have had their government-issued licenses checked.
When to hire
- Your visa status has changed and you need to update your alien registration or apply for a new status
- You are applying for a D-10, E-7, F-2, or F-5 visa and need professional document preparation and submission
- Your visa application was rejected and you need help preparing an objection letter (이의신청) and reapplication
- Foreign documents such as diplomas, criminal background checks, or birth certificates need certified Korean translation for a visa application
- You need an apostille on Korean-issued documents to use overseas, or on foreign documents to submit to Korean immigration authorities
- You are overseas and need someone to handle translation, apostille, and filing as a single end-to-end service
What to expect
During your first session, your administrative agent will review your current visa status, passport, and existing documentation. They will outline a step-by-step plan covering which forms to file, which documents need certified translation, and which require apostille authentication — along with realistic timelines and total cost estimates for all three services. Most agents work with overseas clients via email and video call, handling document submission, translation coordination, and apostille processing entirely on your behalf.
