The legalization of foreign documents, which have been issued and legalized by foreign enterprises and organizations is fulfilled upon conditions of available legalized stamp and signature of MOFA of the Republic of Korea.  Legalization is a proof for the document emanating from the authorities of the state or compiled with the assistance of the authorities and consistent with the law of that state. It lies in the authentication of signature of the person signing the document and the seal of the authorized state body.

In accordance with international practice, there is no need for the legalization of passports and substituting documents.
