I think the reason they require a stamp/seal is to prevent folks from sending forgeries... Very Happy

What's to distinguish you transcript from just any ordinary piece of paper?

Its probably just faster to have a seal made in korea and stamp it your self, trust me, works much better

Because that is too logical a thing to do. They have to create more work for themselves by sending the transcripts back to you Smile

look, i'll buy them the damn bleach to test for authenticity. how many bits of paper do you have lying aroung the house that will scream 'VOID' in 6 languages once they touch bleach??

Yeah, but do they want a document that "will scream void when touched w/ bleach"? No, or they would have asked you for one. Dude, you seriously better get w/ the program and maybe learn how to read a little it might even help you in your job as a teacher,

what really gets me is that the exact same transcripts were fine last year.

(i know: let's try and recruit more teachers this year by making our standards more annoying)

well, the new ones are in the mail. let's see if there's another hissy fit.

Make yourself a stamp.

This happened to me as well. You just gotta roll with the punches man. I was pretty rabid for a while about it as you obviously are now.

Actually, I 'm pretty sure they require a seal from the issuing Uni and not a homemade one. When I sent for mine I don't remember the immigration office stating anywhere in writing that a homemade stamp would suffice. I'm almost positive it has to be a stamp from your school.

Right Spliff it does. It has to be an authentic university rubber stamp with a plastic seal or coating covering it (unbroken).

There's been lots of threads with pictures posted about this here already.

I heard that you also have to send them a video of yourself running around a green and white striped pole three times. It's a requirement.

I know how it is. It makes you wonder, if Korea REALLY wants experienced teachers. I think they REALLY don't, because of the hoops and other things we have to go through. I hope this makes sense, because I am REALLY tired today. I need to get out and enjoy the sunshine.
