I am currently working on my JET application but have run into an interesting program.

iv. Applicants/candidates who have lived in another country for at least twelve consecutive
months during the preceding five years must submit a criminal record from that country
as well.


as I have previously taught in Korea for a year, this applies to me... does anyone know how to go about this?

Thanks!

As I am been researching this today, I believe the only way to do this is to physically go to your nearest Korean consulate in the US and apply for it in person.... can anyone confirm this? This is a bit annoying for me because I live pretty far away and would ideally want to mail it if possible

This is the advice from the Foreign Office for UK nationals about getting police clearance from Korea. I would have thought the basic process is the same for US/other country citizens

Korea, Republic of (South Korea)

- Overseas applicants must contact nearest embassy/consulate to check if authorised (UK applicants may apply).

Where?

- UK applicants must consult Embassy of the Republic of Korea in London.

What must the applicant supply?
Local applicant:
- Complete application form (provided at local police station)
Overseas applicant:
- Completed application form (online, see below)
- 1 affixed passport sized photo

- Cover letter from applicant and prospective employer stating reason and purpose for request.
- Cover letter must include period of stay in ROK, western name, UK postal address, mobile number and e-mail address.
- Stamped, self-addressed envelope (for return)
What are the costs / turnaround times?
- Fee may be applicable; enquire at local police station/embassy.
- Embassy turnaround is 6-8 weeks
- Local police station turnaround varies, enquire at station.
