 |
|
I have just applied for my CRC though disclosure scotland so it should arrive within 2 weeks or so (apparently).....however i'm confused about getting it notarized?...is this really essential?...and if so what is going to be the easiest way to get it notarized ( solicitor, embassy???) and can this be done in Seoul or do I have to send it back to the UK to get notarized?
help is appreciated |

I was told by the GEPIK ladies that it could be notarized at the UK embassy here.
Whether or not that was a spur of the moment bit of original thinking by them i don't know. |

I'm not sure, but I will be getting a basic disclosure from disclosure Scotland and then sending it to these guys to get it apostiled.

It would be great if somebody could find out for sure what needs to happen. |

this is what they charge....
Tier 1 pricing �
To issue an Apostille Certificate to a Tier 1 document costs - �59 + vat (64.60)
Tier 2 pricing �
To issue an Apostille Certificate to a Tier 2 document costs - �79+ vat (�88.10)
either way it looks bloody expensive. cant we just get the criminal check and take it to a local authority to get it stamped. i know when i have had to get similar things done in the past i only had to take it to a doctor or local police station and get them to stamp it. |

Again, dont trust what I say. I might have the wrong information. I'm now planning to get the Disclosure sent here (Korea) and take it to UK emabssy in Seoul. I believe there, the embassy and I can sign an affidavit swearing the disclosure to be genuine. Ive read that immigration will accept this.
Again, Im not sure as I will have to deal with this in a few weeks.
Im not sure if the disclosure can be apostilled as it is not a government document. Please let us know how you get on.
Good luck. |
