Korean Job Discussion Forums

I lived in Georgia but graduated from the University of San Francisco. My sister went to a notary with a document saying she was my sister. She got it notarized and I had already contacted USF. She did the whole process for me - got everything picked up, notarized and apostiled. Took her a whole day to do it, but I am ever grateful. So, if you have a family member living where you went to school or even a good friend, consider going this route so you don't have to go home to get the documents done the way the Korean government wants them.

Sounds like an excellent idea! It'd be even better if you assign the family member or friend a special power of attorney for this purpose.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing for the criminal check, should I ever need one done. But my friend went to the local police (very small town where I lived before I came to Korea this time) and they said they couldn't do it. But I'm thinking of sending her a power of attorney to get it for me so I'll have it in case I decide to change jobs next year. So happy the interviews at consulates won't be required if you've had an E-2 visa!

Are the universities themselves the only places one can get their documents apostilled? I haven't done the search online but whereelse can one go and who can perform this service?
