For those Canadian who live in Korea and need to get their degree verified. The Korean Consulate has changed their website and procedures.

** For a Degree Verification

[Required Documents]

1. Original university degree
2. A photocopy of university degree which has been notarized by a notary public
within our jurisdiction(BC, AB, SK, Yukon, NWT)
3. One sealed university transcript (must be most recently issued and it will NOT be returned)
4. Fee: Cdn $4.40 per degree copy
5. The applicant�s passport
※ If sent by mail, you must enclose a copy of passport, money order and a return, self-addressed envelope with prepaid
postage(Canada Post X-press (Please do not send cash)


* Additional instructions for applicants currently residing in Korea:

1. If you currently reside in Korea, you must apply through a representative who resides in our jurisdiction (BC, AB, SK, YUK, NWT)

2. The following additional documents will also need to be submitted:

- a permission letter (signed by the applicant) allowing chosen representative to act on your behalf

- photo ID of the representative

- (plus the required documents mentioned above for degree verification)


Address : Korean Consulate (ATTN: Notarization)
#1600-1090 West Georgia St.
Vancouver, BC V6E 3V7

** Please be advised that ONLY a university degree can be verified by the Korean
Consulate(not unaccredited schools, diplomas, TESOL certificates).
Also please note that we only accept documents from those who reside
within our jurisdiction.


SOME THOUGHTS AND NOTES: Even thru the government says transcipts will be not be needed now. Notice that you will need to submit one for your verification and it has to be a recent one, too (why?)

The other consulate Toronto and Montreal have not yet changed their sites. I suspect it will be very much similar.

You should find a nice notary or lawyer who can help you with this.

Good Luck to You All!
