Document work moves to a contactless route
As COVID-19 continued to spread through the United States, Europe and beyond, demand for contactless and non-face-to-face systems grew across society. Movement between countries was blocked and people avoided contact with one another. Drawing on a global network built up over several years, Apostille Korea provides cross-border civil document handling online. Without visiting the government office concerned at home or abroad, users can request civil documents from around the world in a few clicks on the website or the mobile app. The company's chief executive said demand for contactless systems had grown sharply as border crossings closed and contact was avoided, and expressed the hope that the service would be of help in those conditions.
An application route open in five languages
Submitting a document abroad means passing through translation, notarisation, foreign ministry apostille and embassy legalisation. Apostille Korea handles those steps in one process and delivers the issued document to the user's email or a location of their choosing. The multilingual site the company runs supports Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese, so foreign users can also request the documents they need without a face-to-face visit. The service is used across business, study abroad, emigration, employment, international marriage and business travel.
