We request, authenticate, and ship your Korean Family Relation Certificate to you — no trip to Korea required. It records your immediate family members: parents, spouse, and children, as registered in Korea's family relation registry.
Officially: 가족관계증명서 / Certificate of Family Relations, issued by the Supreme Court of Korea (Family Registration).
We obtain the Apostille or Consular Confirmation for your Korean Family Relation Certificate on your behalf — remotely, with no trip to Korea required. A Family Relation Certificate issued in Korea isn't automatically valid abroad; it needs to be authenticated before a foreign court, registrar, or immigration authority will accept it. If your destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, we obtain a Hague Apostille for your certificate from Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is recognized directly by foreign institutions without further authentication. If your destination country is not a Hague Convention member, we complete Consular Confirmation instead — the certificate is first authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then confirmed by your destination country's embassy or consulate in Korea. Either an apostilled or a consular-confirmed certificate is the version accepted for inheritance procedures, marriage registration abroad, and family-reunification visa applications.
This service is for anyone registered in Korea's family relation registry who now needs that record authenticated for use abroad — including Korean nationals living overseas and their family members handling inheritance, marriage registration, or family-reunification paperwork on their behalf. You do not need a Korean bank account, Korean mobile number, or Digital Certificate (Joint Certificate) — a signed power of attorney and identity verification are enough for us to request the certificate on your behalf.
There are two ways to get a Family Relation Certificate authenticated for use abroad once you've left Korea.
Option 1 — Handle it yourself. You can request the certificate directly from a Korean court or administrative office (which requires Korean identity verification, and in many cases an in-person visit or a Korean-resident representative), then bring it to Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for an Apostille, or to your destination country's embassy or consulate in Korea for Consular Confirmation. This is possible without a service, but it typically requires a trip back to Korea or a Korean resident acting on your behalf.
Option 2 — Use GetKoreanDocs. We request the certificate on your behalf, complete the Apostille or Consular Confirmation, and ship the finished document to you internationally, without you needing to set foot in Korea.
Covers issuance and Hague Apostille certification, for destination countries that are Hague Convention members.
For destination countries that are not Hague Convention members. Final pricing depends on your destination country's embassy or consulate in Korea, and is confirmed during your consultation.

It's officially known as 가족관계증명서 (Certificate of Family Relations), issued by the Supreme Court of Korea (Family Registration).
It shows the registrant's name and birthdate, along with the names, birthdates, and relationships of parents, spouse, and children as registered in Korea's family relation registry.
Apostille and Consular Confirmation packages generally take 6 or more business days to process, not including international shipping. Exact timing depends on your destination country and is confirmed during your consultation.
Yes — this certificate is commonly used for inheritance procedures abroad, marriage registration to a Korean national, establishing a child's family relationship, and family-reunification visa applications.
Yes. This is a frequent situation for us: a parent who left Korea decades ago, is now a citizen of another country, and would struggle to navigate Korean government websites or in-person procedures. With your parent's signed power of attorney and identity verification, we request and authenticate the certificate on their behalf — no Korean bank account, Korean mobile number, or Digital Certificate (Joint Certificate) needed from them, and no trip back to Korea for either of you.
That's common — tell us your destination country during your free consultation, and we'll confirm the correct authentication path before anything is charged.
