What Makes Korean Document Translation Different
Korean document translation has its own considerations, so here's how we handle it:
- Hangul, and occasional Hanja on older documents
- Korean is written in Hangul, but some legal names and older records include Hanja (Chinese characters) for disambiguation; we handle both and keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings.
- South Korea's purpose-specific certificate system
- South Korean civil records are typically issued as one of several purpose-specific certificates, such as a Basic Certificate or a Family Relation Certificate, rather than a single all-purpose document; tell us which one you have and we translate it as that certificate type.
- Name romanization varies
- Korean names can be romanized under the Revised Romanization system or older conventions, and the same family name is often spelled differently — "Lee," "Yi," or "Rhee"; "Park" or "Pak"; we keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings.
- Sending a document to South Korea instead?
- if your document needs to go to a court, notary, or government office in South Korea, the requirement for official use there is different, distinct from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office.
What that means for your document
Korean civil records are usually issued as purpose-specific certificates rather than one document, and name romanization varies by convention; an unfamiliar translator can trip on either one.

The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a Korean translation.
How long does a certified Korean translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified Korean translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for Korean-language documents.
What certificates make up a Korean civil record?
South Korea's civil registration system issues several purpose-specific certificates, such as a Basic Certificate and a Family Relation Certificate, rather than one all-purpose document. Tell us which one you have and we translate it accurately.
Do you handle Hanja names on older Korean documents?
Yes. Some legal names and older records include Hanja (Chinese characters) alongside Hangul for disambiguation. We handle both and keep the romanized spelling consistent with your passport.
Do you handle different romanizations of the same Korean name?
Yes. The same family name is often spelled differently depending on the romanization convention used — for example, "Lee," "Yi," or "Rhee." We keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings.
What documents make up a Korean academic record?
Korean schools typically issue a certificate of graduation and a separate official transcript, rather than a single diploma. We translate the complete set your case requires.
What documents do you most commonly translate from Korean?
Family Relation Certificates and other civil registration extracts, marriage certificates, and academic records are the most common, but we translate any personal, legal, or business document from Korean.
My document needs to go to South Korea, not a U.S. agency. Is this the right page?
If your document is headed to a court, notary, or government office in South Korea, the requirement for official use there is different, a distinct process from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office whether this applies to your case.
