Documents Issued in Kazakhstan for Use in Korea
If you are submitting a document issued in Kazakhstan to Korea, it must first go through Kazakhstan's issuing agency.
Ministry of Justice · e-Government Portal (egov.kz)
For documents under the Ministry of Justice's jurisdiction, Kazakhstan has operated an electronic apostille (e-Apostille) service via its e-government portal (egov.kz) since 2021. Online issuance and lookup are possible using a security code.
Translation Notarization Method
Kazakhstan has no separate sworn-translator system; a translation agency or individual translator translates the document, and a notary certifies only the translator's signature.
