English to Korean
English to Korean Translation
South Korea's Employment Permit System is the route most Pakistani applicants take, and it runs to its own rules. EPS is administered through a government-to-government arrangement, which means the process, not the translation, is usually what decides your file.
What is English to Korean translation?
English to Korean translation from Pakistan is used for the EPS employment permit route, student visas, and family documents, written in Hangul. EPS is a government-to-government programme with its own procedures, and Korea has no European-style sworn translator register, so requirements are set by the receiving body. From Rs. 3,000 through a vetted collaborator.

EPS is a process, not a translation problem
South Korea’s Employment Permit System is the route most Pakistani applicants use, and it behaves differently from a normal work visa.
EPS runs through a government-to-government arrangement, administered on the Pakistani side through official channels, and much of it turns on standardised forms and the Korean language test (EPS-TOPIK) rather than on translated personal documents.
Which means the honest first question is: does your route actually need translations? Check with your EPS centre or the Bureau of Emigration before ordering. A good deal of EPS paperwork is handled on prescribed forms, and buying translations you do not need is a common waste.
Where translation genuinely comes in: university admissions, employer-specific requirements outside EPS, family documents for accompanying dependants, and some residency filings.
No sworn register, so the checklist rules
Korea does not operate a court-appointed sworn translator register in the European sense. There is no traducteur assermenté or beeidigter Übersetzer equivalent to be excluded from.
That is good news and bad news. Good, because a certified translation with a statement of accuracy is often acceptable. Bad, because requirements are set individually by the receiving body — a university, an employer, an immigration office — and they vary.
So the exact wording of your checklist matters more here than any general rule. Send it to us and we will tell you what it calls for.
Apostille or attestation
Korea is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. An apostille can therefore replace the longer embassy attestation route rather than being an additional step — they are alternatives.
Whether the apostille route is open for your document depends on what MOFA issues for that type. Confirm on mofa.gov.pk before choosing; see apostille in Pakistan. Getting this right can remove an entire leg of the process.
Your name in Hangul
Names are transliterated into Hangul phonetically, and consistency beats correctness. There is no single right rendering.
If you hold any Korean-language document already — a prior visa, an alien registration card, an admission letter — send it, and we match the Hangul on it. Starting a second version creates a discrepancy someone will eventually ask you to explain.
How we handle this pair
Korean runs through a vetted collaborator, not in house, and at Rs. 3,000 it sits among our highest rates. The output takes longer to produce and to check, and turnaround depends partly on the collaborator’s availability.
Urdu documents are routed through English rather than directly into Korean.

MOFA attestation covers the apostille choice, which for Korea often matters more than the translation. Academic files are covered by educational document translation, and police clearance by police character certificate translation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Korean translation for the EPS route?
Often less than people expect. EPS is administered through a government-to-government arrangement, and much of the process runs on standardised forms and the Korean language test rather than on translated personal documents. Check what your EPS centre or the Bureau of Emigration actually asks for before ordering translations.
Does Korea have sworn translators?
Not in the European sense. There is no court-appointed sworn translator register equivalent to Italy's or Germany's. Requirements are set by the receiving body, which might be a university, an employer, or an immigration office, and they vary. That means the checklist wording matters more here than any general rule.
How is my name written in Hangul?
Transliterated into Hangul phonetically, and consistency is what matters rather than any single correct form. If you already hold a Korean document, a visa, or an alien registration card with your name in Hangul, send it so we match it. Starting a second version creates a discrepancy you will have to explain later.
Do documents need apostille or embassy attestation for Korea?
Korea is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille may replace the longer embassy attestation route. Which is available for your document depends on what MOFA issues for that type, so confirm on mofa.gov.pk. They are alternatives rather than sequential steps, and choosing correctly can remove a whole leg.
What does English to Korean translation cost?
From Rs. 3,000, among our highest rates, because Korean runs through a vetted collaborator and the output takes longer to produce and check. Ask before planning around urgent delivery, and ask first whether your route needs translation at all.
