Apostille accepted.
South Korea (the Republic of Korea) has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 2007, so U.S. documents need an apostille, not consular legalization. A diploma is apostilled by the state where it was notarized, and an FBI background check by the U.S. Department of State.
We do not give immigration or legal advice.
Documents clients send to South Korea.
- Diplomas, transcripts and FBI background checks for teaching and work visas
- Birth and marriage certificates for family and residency matters
- Powers of attorney for property and banking
- Business documents
Translation needs.
Korean offices may ask for a Korean translation. We translate English, Spanish, Arabic and French, not Korean, so ask the receiving office or your employer which translations it accepts.

South Korea questions.
Which apostille does my FBI check need for a Korean teaching visa?
A U.S. Department of State apostille, because the FBI report is a federal document. Your diploma is apostilled by the state where its copy was notarized.
Can you apostille my diploma for Korea?
Yes. A diploma is apostilled through a notarized copy, usually signed by a school official or by you as custodian. See diploma and transcript apostille.
