Evidence Scorecard
Three lenses — wording, timing, documented link. Not a single proof score.
Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.787); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Primary source
The Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation② for Foreign Public Documents③ (the "Apostille Convention①"), drafted by the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH), replaces the costly multi-step chain of consular legalisation with a single certificate (an "Apostille", per Art. 3–4) issued by a designated Competent Authority in the state of origin. The Convention entered into force globally on 24 January 1965. The Republic of Korea acceded on 25 October 2006, and the Convention entered into force for Korea on 14 July 2007 (HCCH status table #12). As of 31 December 2025 there were 129 Contracting Parties.
대한민국은 2006년 10월 25일 아포스티유① 협약에 가입하여 2007년 7월 14일 한국에 대하여 발효하였다(협약 자체의 국제적 발효일은 1965년 1월 24일). 이후 아포스티유 및 본부영사확인서③ 발급 절차를 통합·정비하기 위해 「공문서②에 대한 아포스티유 및 본부영사확인서 발급에 관한 규정」(대통령령 제31121호, 2020. 10. 27. 제정, 2021. 4. 28. 시행; 현행 대통령령 제33377호, 2023. 4. 5. 공포, 2023. 6. 5. 시행)을 마련하였다. 동 규정의 시행규칙은 외교부령 제93호 및 법무부령 제1007호(2021. 4. 27. 제정, 2021. 4. 28. 시행)로 발령되었다. 협약 제6조에 따른 권한 있는 당국(Competent Authority)은 외교부와 법무부이며, 외교부가 주된 소관부처로서 공문서에 대한 아포스티유 발급 업무를 담당한다(통합민원 업무는 2023년 6월 재외동포청 설치 이전에는 외교부 영사실 통합민원실이, 이후에는 외교부 소속 재외동포청의 통합민원실이 수행한다).
