Korean Writing System

Hangul, Names & Official Korean Documents

Modern Korean documents are primarily written in Hangul, although Latin characters, numbers and occasionally Hanja may also appear in names, institutional references or specialised contexts.

Korean Names & Romanisation

Korean names can be represented in English in more than one way. For official translations, consistency with the Roman-letter spelling shown in a passport or other recognised identity document is particularly important.

Where possible, provide the passport spelling together with the Korean source document.

Stamps, Dates & Official Details

Korean documents may contain official stamps, identification numbers, institutional titles, handwritten entries and detailed registration information.

Clear, complete copies help ensure these elements can be read and represented accurately.
