Does Korea have a certified translator system?

No, Korea does not operate a general “certified translator” system. Instead, Korea maintains a unique public qualification system under the Licensed Administrative Agent Act. Licensed Administrative Attorneys in foreign language translation service are legally authorized to handle translation-related administrative services. While translation itself may be performed by anyone, only a Licensed Administrative Attorney is authorized under Korean law to issue an official certification of a translation and assume responsibility for its accuracy. For this reason, translations intended for submission to government authorities or official institutions in Korea are often accompanied by a certification issued by a Licensed Administrative Attorney. This makes the Korean system distinct from many other countries, where “certified translators” are separately designated.
