How It Works
How Seoul Apostille works
Three steps to get a Korean document apostilled, notarized, authenticated, or translated by a licensed administrative attorney.
Step 01
Browse licensed agents
Search by service — apostille, notarization, document authentication, consular legalization, or certified translation — and review each administrative attorney's (행정사) license and credentials.
Step 02
Send an inquiry
Describe which document you have and which country it's going to. The agent reviews it and replies with a quote and timeline.
Step 03
The agent handles your document
Your licensed agent submits the apostille, notarization, legalization, or translation directly with the relevant authority (OKA, a notary, an embassy, or a translator) and delivers the finished document to you.
Common questions
How do I choose the right agent?
Check each agent's license type, credentials, and which services they handle on their profile before you send an inquiry — not every agent covers every service or destination country.
What happens after I send an inquiry?
The agent reviews your document and destination country, then replies directly with a price, timeline, and what they need from you next.
Do I need to visit in person?
Most services can be handled remotely by mail or courier. In-person appointments are also available depending on the agent and the document.
How long does the whole process take?
It depends on the service — a standard Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) apostille is typically 3–5 business days once your document is ready, while notarization and translation timelines vary by agent and document length. Ask for a specific estimate when you send your inquiry.
