Documents Issued in India for Use in Korea
If you are submitting a document issued in India to Korea, it must first go through India's issuing agency.
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the eSanad Platform
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)'s Consular, Passport and Visa Division (CPV) is the sole apostille issuing agency. Many documents require prior state or regional-authority authentication before the apostille, and MEA processes apostille/attestation through its online platform eSanad.
Translation Certification Practice
India has no official registered-translator system. It is common practice for a Notary Public to certify the translator's signature after translation, but this is a practice, not a documented MEA rule — confirmation needed.
Official India Institutions
The links below are guidance from the Indian government and related official institutions. Please check the latest information before actual submission.
Please always verify the exact application method, required documents, and fees on the official sites above.
