How to Apostille Your Driver’s License for a South Korean License: A Step-by-Step Guide

September 22, 2024 by admin

If you’re looking to exchange your driver’s license for a South Korean driver’s license, it’s essential to follow a specific process that includes notarizing and apostilling your documents. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the exchange:

1. Confirm Your Eligibility

To begin the process, ensure you meet the following criteria:

  • Valid Driver’s License: You must possess a valid driver’s license from your home country.
  • Residency Requirements: You should hold legal residency or a long-term visa in South Korea, such as an Alien Registration Card (ARC).

2. Gather Required Documents

To successfully apostille your driver’s license, follow these steps:

  • Notarize a Color Copy of Your Driver’s License:
    • Create a color copy of your driver’s license and have it notarized in the state where the license was issued. For instance, if your license is from Texas, the notarization must occur in Texas.  Our email will include instructions for the notary public.
    • If you’re currently in South Korea, enlist the help of a family member or friend for notarization. Note that some states allow a notary to copy-certify a color copy on your behalf.  Please check with the notary in the state your license has been issued in.
  • Apostille the Notarized Copy:
    • Obtain an apostille for your notarized color copy. Download the appropriate order forms from our website, then mail the notarized copy along with the forms for processing.  Click the following link to find our forms: Apostille Order Forms
  • Translation Services:
    • South Korean authorities require that the apostille and notarized copy be translated into Korean. Be sure to complete the translation request form included with the order forms.

In addition to the apostilled documents, you may also need to provide:

  • Passport: Bring your passport (original and copies of the ID page).
  • Alien Registration Card (ARC): Ensure you have a valid ARC if residing in South Korea.
  • Passport Photo: Usually 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm (check specific district requirements).
  • Application Fee: Prepare approximately ₩12,500 (around $10) in cash.

3. Visit a Driver’s License Agency

Go to the Driver’s License Examination Office (운전면허시험장) in South Korea. Some police stations handle these exchanges, so it’s best to verify which location serves your area.

4. Submit Your Documents

Present all necessary documents, including your apostilled and translated driver’s license, at the office.

5. Complete a Health Check

Depending on the location, you might be required to undergo a simple health check (vision test) at the Driver’s License Office, which is usually quick.

6. Surrender Your Driver’s License

As part of the exchange, you will typically need to surrender your foreign driver’s license. The South Korean office may keep it until you leave the country.

7. Obtain Your South Korean License

Once all documents are accepted and the process is complete, you will receive your South Korean driver’s license.

Important Considerations:

  • Reciprocity Agreement: The United States and South Korea have a reciprocal agreement, so you won’t need to take a driving test when exchanging your license.
  • License Validity: Your South Korean driver’s license may be valid for up to 10 years for residents. If you’re on a short-term visa, the validity may align with your visa duration.

Always check with your local Driver’s License Office in South Korea for any updates on procedures or document requirements specific to your situation.

Apostille for South Korea

January 7, 2022 by admin

Do you need to apostille your documents for South Korea?

At National Apostille, Inc. we take the guesswork out of obtaining an apostille on your documents for South Korea. Our trained and knowledgeable staff are available Monday-Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

Are you planning to do the following:

  • Move to South Korea
  • Teach English in South Korea
  • Starting a new job in South Korea
  • Getting married in South Korea
  • Continuing education in South Korea
  • Obtain a Driver’s License in South Korea

Whether you’re moving, starting a new job, getting-married, or continuing your education in South Korea, you will be asked to obtain an apostille on your documents.  We can process documents originating from the U.S. and for South Korea.

From our experience authenticating thousands of documents for South Korea, the most common documents we process are:

  1. FBI Background Checks
  2. Diplomas and Transcripts
  3. Driver’s License
  4. Power of Attorney 

We will discuss each document separately below and will provide you the simple steps you will need to take before you can mail in your documents to our office for processing.  Please note that we have nine offices throughout the United States and each office can process specific documents.  For example, an FBI background check is processed through our Washington DC Apostille office.  A color copy of a California Driver’s license can be processed through our Los Angeles apostille office.

FBI Apostille for South Korea – The Government of South Korea will request for you to obtain an apostille on your FBI background check.  If you have not already obtained your FBI background check, the first step is to contact an approved FBI Channeler to assist you in obtaining your FBI background check.  If you have received your FBI background check in a digital format (PDF copy) from the FBI Channeler or FBI, go ahead and email it to us with the completed order form and payment (see below).  If you have received your FBI background by regular mail (Hard copy), go ahead and mail it to our Washington DC office with our order forms (see below).  We can process a digital PDF copy or a hard copy.  It’s your choice.  Please contact us for the most up to date processing time.

Download Forms: FBI Apostille Order Forms

Diplomas and Transcripts Apostille for South Korea – If you attended a school (High School, College, University, Trade School, etc..) in the United States and plan to work or continue your education in South Korea, the requesting country will ask that your records be authenticated (signed and notarized) by the School’s Registrar.  Once notarized, it can then be mailed in to our office with our order forms for processing.

We can apostille diplomas and transcripts signed and notarized in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (Washington DC).  All of our order forms can be downloaded here: Apostille Order Forms

Driver’s License Apostille for South Korea – A driver’s license is signed and notarized in the state it originates from.  For example, if your driver’s license is from California, then the color copy will need to be signed and notarized in California.  If you are already in South Korea, you can ask a friend or family member to help.  In some states, a notary can copy certify a color copy of a driver’s license.  All notarized documents received at our office must be original.  We do not accept online notarizations.

Power of Attorney Apostille for South Korea – A power of attorney must be signed and notarized before it can be apostilled for South Korea.  Please mail in the original signed and notarized documents with our order forms for processing.  For example, if your power of attorney was notarized in New York, please mail in the original signed and notarized power of attorney with our New York apostille order forms to our New York office.

Obtaining an apostille for South Korea can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our staff is available Monday-Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow-step-by-step instructions.  Please call us at 1-800-903-2470.

FBI Apostille for South Korea

January 6, 2020 by admin

Do you need to apostille your FBI background check for South Korea?

Are you planning to teach English in South Korea?  Have you been asked to obtain an apostille on your FBI background check and your University Degree?

If you are planning to teach English in South Korea, the most common documents you will need to apostille are your educational degree and your FBI background check.

An FBI background check must be issued within the past 90 days and it also must receive an apostille through the US Department of State in Washington, D.C.  An FBI background check can only be processed through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.  Because this document is a U.S. Federal document, it cannot be processed through any Secretary of State office nor can it be notarized.

The first step is to contact an approved FBI Channeler to assist you in obtaining your FBI background check.  We can provide you a recommend list of FBI channelers when you contact our office and speak to one of our agents. You can also utilize the live chat feature during regular business hours.

If the FBI Channeler is unable to help, please contact the FBI directly. More information here: https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks

If you receive your FBI background check in a digital format (PDF copy), go ahead and e-mail it to us with the completed order form and payment.  If you receive your FBI background by regular mail (Hard copy), go ahead and mail it to our Washington DC office with our order forms (see below).  We can process a digital PDF copy or a hard copy.  It’s your choice.

Below is an example of an FBI Background Check in a digital format (PDF Copy) and a hard copy printed on special tamper resistant paper.

To get started, please contact our Washington DC office here:

Processing time: 4 business days (Estimated)
Cost: As low as $75 for each apostille.
Free Return Shipping: FedEx priority overnight by 10:30 AM (Estimated)
