Certification Process for Submission to Kyrgyzstan

How do you prepare Korean documents for submission to Kyrgyzstan? The basic flow is as follows.

① Get the document issued→ ② Notarize if it's a private document→ ③ Check whether translation is required→ ④ Apostille→ ⑤ Submit to the receiving agency in Kyrgyzstan

Since the Convention took effect in 2011, Kyrgyzstan uses the single-step apostille procedure. No separate consular confirmation or embassy authentication is required. However, HCCH records note that some contracting states have objected to Kyrgyzstan's accession, so a Kyrgyzstan apostille may not be recognized equally by every Convention member — please confirm in advance with the submitting country.

Documents from Kyrgyzstan for Use in Korea

If you are submitting a document issued in Kyrgyzstan to a Korean agency, it must first go through Kyrgyzstan's issuing authorities.

Issuing agency (split by document type)

Kyrgyzstan's issuing authority is confirmed to be split across six agencies depending on document type: the Ministry of Justice, State Committee for National Security, Prosecutor General's Office, judiciary, Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Financial Police.

Because the issuing agency is split across six bodies, you'll need to confirm in advance which agency has jurisdiction over the document you're submitting. Details on e-Apostille, translation, and fees were not confirmed during this research. HCCH records also note that some contracting states have objected to Kyrgyzstan's accession, so a Kyrgyzstan apostille may not be recognized equally by every Convention member — please confirm in advance with the submitting country.
