I had to get a Korean Criminal Reference Check for a new job I am going to after I am finished here, and was able to do so without trouble (surprisingly).

However....it was in Korean and my employer says I will need to get an official translation of the document.

Does anyone know where you can do something like this????

Several places that can do it near the Seoul Court Houses by Kyodae St.

I was going to ask where you are, as I just got one done in Uijeongbu. A touch far for you, however.

I'm curious as to why they want it in English? Is your employer not Korean? Very strange. For various reasons, I've had to get them done about 4 times over the last 2 years....and the only time I've had to have it translated was when it was for the US embassy (green card trials). Since it's the notarisation part that you really need a company for, you could just get a friend to help you translate it, and print that out.

You might want to check with them whether it does need to be notarised or not. I feel silly suggesting it since I'm sure you've tried, but give google a shot, with translation companies in Busan.

I did try google but wondered if anyone had actually done it and could suggest a place....
thanks for your help
