Corporate Document Apostille
Corporate Document Apostille
Korean companies establishing a presence in the UAE or engaging in cross-border business must have their corporate documents apostilled. This includes company registration certificates from the Supreme Court registry, articles of incorporation, board minutes, audited financial statements, and powers of attorney for local UAE representatives.
Korean corporate documents follow a specific apostille pathway. Company registration certificates issued by the Supreme Court Internet Registry can go directly to MOFA for apostille. Private corporate documents such as board resolutions and powers of attorney must first be notarized by a Korean notary public before MOFA will process the apostille.
GreenAttest coordinates the complete corporate apostille process for Korean businesses, from obtaining certified copies of company registrations through notarization, MOFA apostille, and certified English translation. We work with your Korean legal team to ensure all documents meet both Korean and UAE business registration requirements.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Obtain company registration certificates no more than 3 months before apostille submission. UAE authorities expect corporate documents to reflect the current state of the company.
- Ensure powers of attorney specifically reference the UAE entity formation or business operation. Vaguely worded powers are questioned by UAE registration authorities.
- If your company structure includes subsidiaries, prepare apostille packages for each entity that will be referenced in the UAE registration. GreenAttest handles multi-entity packages efficiently.
