As I said yes my University will do this for a large fee for their own documents.


For other documents they will not do this.

I can find no government officials to do this in my county.

In fact I spent the day playing phone tag with everyone in my county clerk/recorders office who said they had no idea what I was talking about had NEVER heard of authenticating documents or notarizing documents and had never heard of apostilles.

So my diploma and school documents - I know where to go.

I know my state can apostille.

However some documents need authenticating and notariziing - I was told a bank notary CANNOT notarize because it must be a government official.

Side note is some of the people at my court house actually think we are at war with South Korea!

Elections are next week too - so yes I plan to help vote!

I am very happy some of you can get documents cheaply - but each person here has to go to their University and their city and or state for this and there is a wide variety of costs for each of us.

There are multiple threads on Daves asking questions about these issues - many of us are trying to understand what we need for documents and how to go about getting the authenticating, notarizing and apostilling accomplished.

For instance some people have stated they can use scanned or digitized fingerprints for Korea - however in my state we cannot - they will not apostille scanned or digitized prints in my state.


lol man you guys are making this way too hard.

Try going to a UPS store in your area for notarizing:

I used them for my first time in Korea and again as I'm looking for another job in Korea now.

I was scratching my head before like many people trying to find a place to get stuff notarized and my mom said that UPS has provided notary services for years.
