Korean is the official language of both South Korea and North Korea, with the South Korean documentary system providing the vast majority of certified-translation source material for US filings. Verdacert translates South Korean family relation certificates (가족관계증명서), basic certificates (기본증명서), academic transcripts, and military service records for US immigration, university, and credential-evaluation filings. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Standard Korean (Seoul), North Korean standard (Pyongyang), with country-specific document conventions from South Korea, North Korea.

South Korean civil status is recorded in the family relation registry (가족관계등록부), which produces four certificate types — basic, family relation, marriage, and adoption — each with full and abridged versions carrying different evidentiary scope. Verdacert recommends and translates the full-version certificates (상세증명서) for USCIS filings because they preserve historical changes USCIS adjudicators may need. Korean is written in the Hangul alphabet, sometimes with Hanja (Chinese-character) annotations for legal precision; both are transcribed. Names are romanized following the holder's preferred spelling (existing passport or US documents) rather than the latest Revised Romanization standard.

Verdacert handles any document that requires a certified English translation for use in a US setting. If your use case isn't listed, the standard certification statement applies and most documents are accepted without further authentication.

For academic transcript translations specifically, our reviewers focus on grade-scale conversion explanations and course title transliterations for technical fields, among other patterns. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
