Korean names and writing system

Hangul, Hanja and romanization — why consistency matters

Korean documents are typically written in Hangul. Some records, names, academic materials or older documents may also include Hanja. Names can also appear in Latin letters on passports, certificates, university documents or immigration files.

Writing system

Hangul and occasional Hanja

Most modern Korean documents use Hangul, but Hanja may appear in names, older records, academic contexts or official notations. Send the full file so these elements can be checked.

Name spelling

Passport-style romanization

If your name appears in a passport, residence card, diploma or certificate, send all related documents so the spelling can remain consistent across the translation.

Document packages

Certificates and supporting files

If you have several related documents, send them together. This helps keep names, dates, addresses, family relationships and institution names consistent.

Practical tip: if you have a passport, ID, residence card, diploma, previous translation or certificate with Latin spelling, send it together with the Korean document. It can help avoid inconsistencies in name spelling.
Where Korean documents appear

Where Korean is used on official and cross-border documents

Korean is the official language of the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Korean may also appear in selected regional or local contexts outside the Korean Peninsula, especially where Korean-speaking communities have formal language rights or public-language support.

Main source of Korean documents

South Korea

Korean civil status records, family relation certificates, education documents, court files, company documents, tax records and administrative certificates often require certified or sworn translation for use abroad.

Official language context

North Korea

Documents from North Korea may also be issued in Korean, but procedures, formats, legalization requirements and institutional expectations can be more complex. Such documents should be reviewed individually before confirming the translation route.

Regional context in China

Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture

Korean is actively used among the Korean community in Yanbian and is supported in education and local-language contexts. If your document from China contains Korean and Mandarin Chinese, send the full file for review.

International procedures

Immigration, study and business abroad

Korean documents are often translated for visa applications, residence procedures, university admission, employment, company registration, banking, insurance and court use.

Practical tip: if your document comes from South Korea, North Korea, Yanbian or another multilingual context, send the complete file and tell us where it will be submitted. This helps us choose the safest certified, sworn, digital or paper translation format.
Apostille and legalization

Korean translation, apostille and legalization — what should you check?

Some Korean documents require more than translation. Depending on where the document was issued and where it will be submitted, the receiving authority may ask for an apostille, consular legalization, notarization or a specific sworn translation format.

Requirements may differ for documents from South Korea, North Korea or documents issued in Korean in regional contexts. Send the issuing country, destination country and any instructions from the receiving institution before ordering.

Send us these details

  • The issuing country or region — South Korea, North Korea, China or another jurisdiction
  • The document type, for example certificate, family relation document, diploma or company file
  • The destination country — where you will submit it
  • The receiving institution, office, court, university or embassy
  • Any written instructions about sworn or certified translation
  • Your deadline and preferred delivery method
