    Legalize if needed

    Apostille/legalization when the receiving office requires it.

What we do / what we don’t

We do

  • Coordinate certified Korean (or English) translations where required
  • Arrange notarized copies when hospitals or embassies require them
  • Coordinate apostille or embassy legalization for overseas-origin documents
  • Flag missing pages before hospital submission

We don’t

  • Act as a hospital or practice medicine
  • Guarantee treatment outcome or hospital admission
  • Interpret imaging or alter clinical content
  • Promise apostille is always required — level depends on hospital and origin country

We prepare documents. We are not a hospital. Clinical decisions and admission belong to the hospital.

  2. Confirm level — translation only, notarized translation, or apostille/legalization per hospital and origin country.
  3. Quote — fee after page count and certification level (case-by-case; see document translation).
  4. Deliver — organized set hospitals can read, with index page in English/Korean as needed.

Not always. Some hospitals accept certified translation only. We confirm with your target hospital and document origin country.
