What Is the Korea Notary Fee Calculator?

This calculator estimates Korean notary fees for notarial deeds, promissory note deeds, private document authentication, translation authentication, and articles of incorporation authentication. It follows the Korean Notary Fee Rules model used in the Korean page.

The core idea is target value. A unilateral obligation uses the transaction amount once, while a bilateral contract uses twice the value. The calculator then applies the fee bracket, caps, add-ons, night or holiday surcharge, and VAT if separately charged.

Important Note

Actual notary offices may charge separately for copies, delivery, translation handling, VAT, or urgent field service. Confirm the final invoice with the office before visiting.

Main Fee Rules

Service	Rule
Notarial deed	Bracket fee based on target value, capped at KRW 3,000,000
Promissory note deed	Money-claim deed using unilateral target value
Private document authentication	One half of the notarial deed fee, capped at KRW 500,000
Translation authentication	KRW 25,000 per authentication
Articles authentication	Capital-based fee with promoter-incorporation exemption below KRW 1,000,000,000 capital

FAQ

What is the difference between a notarial deed and private authentication?

A notarial deed can include an execution clause for direct enforcement in certain money obligations. Private document authentication mainly proves the authenticity of signatures or the document and is cheaper but usually lacks direct enforcement power.

Why does a bilateral contract cost more?

The Korean model doubles the target value for bilateral obligations, so the same transaction amount can produce a higher fee than a unilateral loan-style obligation.
