You have two options:- Get the CRC apostilled in your home state;
- Take the CRC to your embassy and execute an affidavit (US citizens) or statutory declaration (Commonwealth citizens) attesting to the CRC's source and authenticity, attach the CRC to the affidavit/statement, and get it notarized by a consular official (more info and example affidavit: http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?p=1485586#1485586)
You cannot have foreign legal documents apostilled in Korea. The reason for the apostille is to authenticate documents in their country of origin for use in other countries. Getting the apostille in a country other than the document's country of origin would be meaningless and would defeat the whole purpose of the apostille.

Don't think so. There is a Canadian "honorary consulate" and an American "presence post" in Busan, but they won't issue apostilles for background checks. You would be able to do the notarized statutory declaration or affidavit at those locations, subject to their schedules of course.
Just FYI, U.S. citizen services (including notarial services) are provided at the Busan American Presence Post very sporadically�on the order of once every 2 months. If you need something done, you should probably plan to have it done in Seoul. |

Will you please tell me what super powers people have to notarize apostile a police check, or diplomas, or transcripts? And, once someone has the police check, original transcripts, diplomas how do they determine that someone is so qualified that that know it is real. Let's say for example that I go back to the USA. I get the police check. Then I do what you said here to have it notarized at that place in Busan. What magical powers do they have to be qualified to say it is real?
Just what the H is Korea trying to do. As I mentioned before, I think they are doing more checking of checking of checks that it would take to get into the CIA. Except in the case of Korea, these checking of checkings of checks are either being done by people who have no way to know the documents are real, or else these people have a direct connection to God Who will tell them it is ok you can notorize it, or you can apostile it.
I have neither the time nor the money to do all of this. It is CRAZY.
My trip to the USA will not be to spend most of my savings on hotel rooms
and leagal things, so that MAYBE Korea will let me stay for a 10th year. This is all pure *beep*. I am out of here.
Oh, and by the way, when I was 9 years old my father died from a piece of shrapnel that he got in his brain in the Korean War. He was a missionary who found and reloctaed orphans to the southern part of South Korea. I know that Korea owes me nothing. It was his choice. My father was a hero who saved the lives of hundreds of Korean children and died because of it. So, these Visa laws, which should make everyone very mad, has an even harder impact on me emotionally considering what my father did and what happened to him. And, also I know it is my choice, but in memory of my father, to keep his "mission" alive I have been donating huge amounts of my salaries since I have been in Korea to Orphanages. I do not even have enough to buy a round trip ticket to USA. For me it will be one way. If I can not get a job lined up before I have to leave I will probably go back to working at Pizza Hut.

| Everytime an ajossi spits, run around that spit 3 times. Do this 11 times and you no longer need a CRC. |

Ok a foreign legal document can not be apostilled in Korea. And you can not get it done abroad. What is the third choice? The moon. Oh Mr. 이.

I guess I was a little inconsistent in my use of "abroad" in that paragraph. I revised it; hopefully it's clearer now.
