Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Korean government certificates can often be obtained electronically through the Government 24 (Jeongbu 24) portal, which issues documents with digital verification codes accepted for Apostille processing, saving time over in-person requests.
- Korean Apostille processing is notably fast (1-3 days) compared to many countries, so plan your UAE-side attestation timeline accordingly to avoid delays after the Korean stage.
- If you hold dual Korean-UAE documentation needs, request your Korean certificates in both Korean and English where available, as some institutions offer bilingual certificates that reduce translation requirements.
