 |
|
Hey, just wondering, I have a copy of my degree scanned on my computer at home, can I get my mom to print out the scanned degree, get it notarised by a lawyer at home and then get it apostilled by the Dept. of Foreign Affairs back in Ireland, similar to the way you get the police check apostilled.
Im in Korea, have my degree with me and I hear I could do it here with the KCUE but to be honest, I strive to avoid Korean bureaucracy when at all possible. Too many bad experiences. |

| I read that only Canadians can go to the KCUE. Is that incorrect? |

Yes, it is incorrect. Any of the "approved" countries can get their credential verified by the KCUE.
CAVEAT: Your EMPLOYER must be the one to get it done. You cannot do it yourself.

Everyone seems to reccomend doing it throught he KCUE. I hear that can take seven weeks though, I know if I do it with the Dept. of Foreign Affairs back in Ireland, they give you the apostille right there and then. At least, they always do for my Gardacheck. Surely this is the better road to go down.
Can any lawyer back home notarise it first? Does the copy needto be notarised first? Yes. |

It needs to be done by the University, as they are the ones who say that it is an official copy. A lawyer wouldn't know if it was real or not, at least not in the eyes of the govt.
The university will sign an affidavit that says to the effect "This is a copy of a degree granted Baron at University on such and such date." The person signing it will be a university employee, probably the dean of records, that can be checked out if need be. Then the apostille says it's legit according to your govt.
I had a degree copied and notarized before outside of the university, then had it apostilled and it was rejected because it wasn't done by the U. Didn't matter that I had had an E2 before, that it was the exact same thing, that the one i had the U do for me was again, the exact same thing: they didn't accept it.
Just my 2 cents. |

Wow.
This is not what I'm hearing from others, who got theirs notarised by public notary.
Is this a new immi rule? |

| Yeah, about to go through this whole notarisation/apostillisation process in the coming weeks and would appreciate it if someone could confirm whether copies of our degree certificates now need to be notarised by our universities and then apostilled. Is immigration no longer accepting degree copies notarised by public notaries? I presume that for Brits, university notarisation is acceptable to the FCO? |
