An application channel added to the website

Apostille Korea has made the document handling service it offered through its website available through an application as well. The app can be downloaded from the Play Store. The company said the move adds an application channel to the existing website route in order to improve access for users at home and abroad and make the service simpler to use. Overseas users sometimes have trouble with the website because of internet compatibility or connection problems, and there had been demand for a route that allows a simple application from a mobile phone. One Korean abroad who has used the service said he had at times had difficulty connecting through the website and expected the application to make the service easier to use. With the launch, the company expects to provide a more stable and faster service to Koreans abroad for whom applying through the website was not straightforward.
