So I was told the other day that I need to get my degree apostillized for my new job with SMOE. I have no idea where to get this done and was wondering if anyone out there could give me some direction on where to go and how much it will cost. I greatly appreciate the help. Very Happy

Ooops! Sorry about being so vague. I am currently in Korea so I need to get the apostille here. I live near Suwon if that helps.

Are you by any chance being asked for this by Work n play? They are currently on my back about it. It seems none of the other smoe teachers have had to do it. It's work n play getting their pants twisted IMHO.

Anyhow I have refused. I'm not defacing my degree, full stop. Not when it's so damn easy for SMoe to validate your degree. They have transcripts. I've said I'll do a copy.

If you're British you can get it done at the British COuncil in Seoul. However they won't do the original, only a copy. You fax it to them and then collect the appostilled copy. It's 30,000won. Cjeck out their web site. The embassy won't do it. Don't know about other nationalities.

I'm currently ignoring work n play until they can tell me why nobody else has to do it.

Now please other smoe'ers if you've had to do this, correct me before I dig myself a grave Laughing
