Korea (new application for issuance)
Scope of Service Provided
English translation by a professional translator + notarisation of the translation through a notary-authorised law firm + Apostille or consular confirmation from Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs + consular legalisation at the Embassy of Vietnam in Korea (Vietnam is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so embassy consular legalisation is the final step)
