According to the Apostille Convention, an Apostille is an international certification that certifies the validity and authentication of public documents between members’ countries such as South Korea. It also verifies that the document is original and was issued by the legal and appropriate authority in Korea.
In addition, an Apostille verifies the authority of a Notary Public to notarize documents. It validate the Notary Public signature on the document and also confirm that such Notary Public is registered Notary according to the law in Korea.
