Overview and Document Description
The Marriage Certificate was issued outside the Apostille Convention, so it is taken all the way through — local notarisation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmation, and finally consular legalisation at the Korean mission in Taiwan.
Scope of Service Provided
official issuance of the Marriage Certificate by the competent authority in Taiwan + notarisation before a local notary in Taiwan + Apostille certification in Taiwan + consular legalisation at the Korean Representative Office in Taiwan (issued outside the Apostille Convention, so consular legalisation at the Korean mission is the final step)
