Korean family registration documents

South Korea records civil status in a set of certificates, including the family relation certificate and basic certificate, which replaced the former family registry system. U.S. offices frequently ask for these to prove relationships, marriages and identity. A translation must include every entry and preserve names exactly, with Korean names written family name first and romanized consistently with the person's passport.

Documents for use in South Korea

South Korea is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents used there need an apostille. We prepare corporate documents for Korean partners and subsidiaries, powers of attorney for property and family matters, and academic records, then translate them with the apostille. See Apostille for South Korea and Foreign Subsidiary Documents.

Translation, notarization and apostille, handled by one team

Many clients need more than a translation. Documents going abroad often need an apostille first, and some offices require the translation itself to be notarized and apostilled. We handle every step in one order, in the right sequence, so nothing has to be redone. See Translate Before or After the Apostille? and Certified vs. Notarized vs. Sworn Translation.

Korean documents for students and researchers

Greater Boston's universities and research institutions host many Korean students and researchers. We translate transcripts, degree certificates, employment certificates and recommendation letters, and help returning researchers apostille U.S. documents for use in Korea.

Who we translate for

We translate for individuals and families, attorneys and law firms, universities and international offices, hospitals and health care providers, employers and human resources teams, and life sciences and technology companies. Every translation is completed by a professional translator, reviewed for completeness and delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy. Recurring clients can set up a business account.

Common mistakes we help you avoid

  • Leaving out stamps or annotations. Every mark on the document is translated.
  • Self-translation. Many offices will not accept translations made by the applicant.
  • Inconsistent name spellings. Names should match your passport and other documents.
  • Translating before the apostille. The apostille usually needs to be translated too.

Official sources

Requirements change, and the receiving office always has the final word. We confirm current requirements with every quote.
