What is Apostilation?
Apostillation (or obtaining an apostille) is the process of certifying the authenticity of a public document for use in another country, in compliance with the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. This international treaty simplifies the legalization of documents, making them valid in all member countries without needing further diplomatic or consular authentication.
The apostille is a stamp or certificate attached to the document, verifying:
-
The authenticity of the signature.
-
The capacity in which the person signing the document acted.
-
The identity of any stamp or seal used on the documents.
When is an Apostille Required?
-
Travel and Immigration: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, and background checks for visa applications.
-
Education: Diplomas, transcripts, and academic records for studying abroad.
-
Business and Employment: Corporate documents, contracts, or certificates needed for business operations or employment in another country.
-
Legal Proceedings: Court documents or notarized papers used in foreign legal processes.
-
Adoption: Documents required for international adoption processes.
Why is an Apostille Necessary?
An apostille certifies that a document is genuine, making it legally acceptable in other countries. Without it, the document would need to go through more complex embassy or consulate authentication processes. Apostille saves time and simplifies international transactions by creating uniformity in document legalization across member countries of the Hague Convention.
For countries like South Korea, which is a member of the convention, an apostille is the most straightforward way to ensure your documents are recognized as legal and valid.
