Why Apostille Documents for South Korea
If you need to use a UK document in South Korea for an E-2 teaching visa, professional work permit, study programme or driving licence exchange, it will need an Apostille certificate. UK degree certificates, DBS checks, academic documents and driving licences are the most commonly apostilled documents for Korean use.
South Korea is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 2007. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Korean Embassy is needed for it to be accepted by Korean authorities.
