I intend to send off my subject access check asap, during my 2 week contract renewal break I aim to get it apostilled in person in London at the FCO.

My co-teacher just signed 2 copies of my original documents. I don't know how the police in the U.K. can verify my co-teacher, but she has signed copies of my birth certificate and passport.

The subject access guidance notes claim that is sufficient, do I need some form of school stamp on it too? Because there are no contact details for my co-teacher, just her name, signature, job title, and date.

As regards the health check, I know there are a list of things you have to do for it, and I've read it can only be done at government-approved hospitals in Korea.

I went to Severance Hospital recently for a blood test, is this recognized by GEPIK, if not, which ones are, and which hospital is the cheapest?

Where do you obtain the full list of what needs to be done, for the health check to be valid?

Thanks in advance.

Are you posting them from here to pick up in the UK?

I just sent copies of my passport. Didn't need to be signed by anybody. Let alone some demented Korean co-teacher.

If I were you I would apply for your basic disclosure online as well. Lie about being overseas and get that in hand as well just to be sure.

Yes, I'm going to send it to the family address in England. I did the subject access for the current job and that was the one my recruiter asked me to get, so I won't do a basic disclosure.

When I go to England, I'll get the apostille done in London.
