Certified Korean Translation for Official UK Use
Professional Korean to English and English to Korean certified document translation for Home Office, UKVI, legal, academic, business and other official submissions.
When You May Need a Certified Korean Translation
A certified translation may be requested when a Korean-language document is being submitted to a UK authority, employer, university, solicitor, court or another organisation that needs the content in English.
English documents can also be translated into Korean for use abroad. The receiving authority determines the exact format and certification it requires.

What You Receive with a Certified Korean Translation
Details We Check Carefully in Korean Documents
Korean documents may use Hangul alongside Latin-script names and, in some records, Hanja. Romanised names can vary, so if a passport or UK record already uses a particular spelling, send it with the document so the translation can stay consistent.
If several related documents form part of the same application, send them together so names, dates and recurring terminology can be checked consistently.

Does Your Korean Document Need an Apostille?
Certified translation, notarisation and apostille/legalisation are separate services. Some overseas authorities may require additional formalities, while many UK submissions only require certified translation.
If you have specifically been told to provide an apostille, notarised translation or legalised document, send that instruction with the file. See our apostille translation service.
