Why documents sent abroad pass through several stages
Getting a Korean document issued is only the first step towards submitting it overseas. The document has to be translated into the language of the receiving country, and the translation has to be confirmed as matching the original through notarisation. It then goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for an apostille or consular legalisation, and to the relevant embassy in Korea when the receiving country requires it. Only after the papers reach the local institution abroad is the process complete. Each stage has a different authority and different intake requirements, so taking them out of order can mean repeating an earlier step.
What changes when the stages are combined
Whomi Global has arranged the process so that a single request carries through the whole chain. The user states which documents are needed and which country they are for, by website, mobile app or phone. Translation, notarisation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs work, embassy legalisation and overseas delivery then follow in order, which cuts down on visits to individual offices. Hiring staff who work in several languages supports a service area that now spans more than 40 countries. The company is organised into six business divisions and one corporate research institute.
Frequently asked questions
Is translation enough when submitting a document abroad?
In most cases it is not. The translation must be notarised and then carry an apostille or consular legalisation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and some countries also require embassy legalisation.
How can a request be submitted?
Requests are accepted through the website, the mobile app and by phone.
Are corporate or institutional documents handled?
Yes. Documents from companies, public institutions and associations are handled alongside personal documents.
