1
🌏
Requirements differ by country

Required documents differ as each country has its own rules, such as CE (Machinery Directive) and local safety certifications.

🏛️
Issuing bodies vary widely

Each document is issued or held by a different party — notified bodies (NB), test labs, manufacturers and others.

3
📑
Certification methods differ

You must distinguish countries where an apostille is enough from those that also require embassy certification.

4
⏰
Registration-schedule pressure

Translation, notarization and certification must be completed in order to meet local licensing or bidding deadlines.

SUMMARYMachinery & equipment certification, in 30 secondsClick to collapse/expand▾

To export machinery & equipment You must prepare the certificates required by the importing country (CE, test reports, MSDS, etc.) and submit them after notarization and an apostille or embassy legalization. For Apostille Convention member countries, one confirmation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is enough; for non-member countries, embassy legalization in Korea is also required after the Ministry's confirmation.

FAQFAQ
Q Is notarization of the CE certificate required when exporting machinery?▾
For submissions or tenders outside the EU, a notarized and Apostille (or Embassy Certification) copy of the CE certificate and test reports is often required. We advise based on the receiving party.
Q What is the difference between an apostille and embassy certification?▾
An apostille is a procedure completed with a single MOFA confirmation between Convention member countries. For non-member countries, after MOFA confirmation you must additionally obtain certification from that country's embassy in Korea.
Q How long does processing take?▾
Translation, notarization and apostille usually take 3–5 business days; including embassy certification, 5–15 business days depending on the country. Urgent processing is also available on request.
Q Can I pay with an export voucher?▾
Yes. The Korea Integrated Civil-Affairs Center is an export-voucher performing agency, so translation and certification costs can be settled with a voucher.
Q Can it proceed even if the original documents are overseas?▾
Yes. Local apostille and consular certification of documents issued abroad can also be handled remotely through our network in 180 countries.
