Applications Procedures
Apostille Requirements
Those who are newly admitted to KAIST should submit Apostille certificates within 15 days after they are enrolled to KAIST. Read the instruction carefully and prepare for the required certificates before you leave your country.Public documents issued by public schools or institutions such as diplomas, transcripts, etc. should attach Apostille certificates. Public documents from private schools or institutions should have notarial attestations before applying for Apostille certificates. All of the documents should be written in English or Korean. If it is written in another language, it should be translated into English or Korean and notarized by a notary office before applying for Apostille certificate.
1. What is an Apostille?
Public documents, such as birth certificates, judgments, patents or notarial attestations of signatures, frequently need to be used abroad. However, before a public document can be used in a country other than the one that issued it, its origin must often be authenticated. The traditional method for authenticating public documents to be used abroad is called legalization. For this legalization process is frequently, slow, cumbersome and costly, a large number of countries all over the world have joined a treaty that greatly simplifies the authentication of public documents to be used abroad. This treaty is called the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. It is commonly known as the Apostille Convention. The treaty reduces the authentication process to a single formality: the issuance of an authentication certificate by an authority designated by the country where the public document was issued. This certificate is called an Aposille.
2. In which countries does the Apostille Convention apply?
Click here to see the updated list of the countries where Apostille Convention applies.
※ If your public document was issued in a country where the Apostille Convention does not apply, you should submit a Certificate of Authentication issued by the Korean Embassy or Consulate in your country.
3. Where do I get an Apostille?
Each country that is a party to the Convention must designate one or several authorities that are entitled to issue Apostilles. These authorities are called Competent Authorities – only they are permitted to issue Apostilles. Click here to see the list of all Competent Authorities designated by each country that has joined the Apostille Convention.
4. How much does an Apostille cost?
Many Competent Authorities do charge for Apostilles. The price among Competent Authorities varies greatly. For practical information of the prices that individual countries charge, see the information available here.
For further details, please see the website of the Hague Conference at www.hcch.net. The Hague Conference is the Organization that developed the Apostille Convention. All relevant and updated information about the Apostille Convention is available in the ‘Apostille Section’ of the Hague Conference website.
※ Note: KAIST graduates are exempt from Apostille Requirements.
※ Note: Students who graduated from Chinese universities can submit a credentials report of degree certificate and transcript issued by China Academic Degree & Graduate Education Development Center (http://www.cdgdc.edu.cn) instead of Certificate of Authentication issued by Korean Embassy or Consulate in China.
