Documents for a foreign-invested company
A general list for incorporation by a foreign shareholder. We send a version cut down to your actual case in the scoping reply — bringing everything below is rarely necessary, and some cases need more.
Identity of shareholders and directors
- Passport copy for each individual shareholder and director
- Certificate of incorporation or business registration for a corporate shareholder
- Signature certification, or home-country notarisation / apostille where required
The company you want
- Candidate company names, in Korean and English
- Business scope — what the company will actually be permitted to do
- Capital amount and how it will be contributed
- Shareholding structure
Korea-side essentials
- A Korean business address — our virtual office qualifies
- Foreign investment report details and the capital remittance route
Which documents need an apostille, and which need only notarisation, depends on whether your country is party to the Apostille Convention. We will tell you which applies to you rather than asking you to guess.
Send us the outline, get the tailored list.
Which of these you actually need depends on your jurisdiction, your shareholders and what the company will do. Tell us that much and we will cut the list down to your case.
