|
| I am in Korea now. My contract expires at the end of July, and I am renewing my contract with my current hogwan for six months and extending my visa. Will Korean immigration accept an online CRC? |

| I don't think Koreans are into CCR very much. They generally prefer ballads. |

That's a big negative.
You must go through a local, state, or federal government agency.
Online background checks are not accepted...no exceptions. |

They may - but more importantly, will YOUR embassy here accept it?
You get the CRC, take it to YOUR embassy and swear an affidavit to its authenticity.
If your embassy allows it, and lets you swear the affidavit then immigration will accept it.
IF your embassy does NOT allow it, then you have to find another source.
It also depends on where YOU are from.
Immigration will NOT allow any CRC that does not have one of:
a) apostille
b) Korean embassy/consulate certification (if you are from Canada)
c) Your home country embassy's affidavit (if you are IN KOREA NOW).

One of my new hires is from the state of Kentucky.
The Kentucky judicial system uses a database named "court.net"
His background check did have the notarization...extensive documentation...and the apostille from the state of Kentucky.
Korean Immigration thought the document resembled the appearance of an online background check.
They did not accept the documentation...he had to obtain a second CHRC at the 11th hour...a second notarization, and a second apostille.
OP...if you're from the states, deal with your state Office of Public Safety, state Department of Justice (basically the same agency, different states have different names) or your state police. In my experience with new hires...the state police seems to be the quickest route.
If you have any connections to your local law enforcement agency...a simple letter accompanied by a state check is acceptable from your local police department. I had mine finished in a matter of days...thankfully I have family in the same town who was willing to send it here.
Since you appear to be in Korea...I would contact your state DOJ, or OPS...many states will allow background check inquiries to be processed through a state website.
Don't go through an on-line agency. |

Yeah.. if you're Canadian don't bother with the online check either. I went to the Canadian Embassy this week with Truecheck.ca, which is valid in Canada, and which uses the same database to check CR's as the police (CPIC) but it was denied.
The lady said she understood, and that it was silly but that she couldn't help me. |
