Frequently Asked Questions
Does a document submitted to Turkey require an apostille?
Turkey has been a member of the Apostille Convention since it took effect on 1985-09-29, so Korean public documents meeting the Convention's requirements can be submitted with just an apostille, without consular authentication.
Is there an electronic apostille for Turkey?
Yes. Turkey has operated the e-Apostil system through PTT (the Turkish postal service) since 2019, though this concerns apostilles for Turkish documents, not the Korean apostille process.
