If you don't have family members back in the states there was a guy who posted this, below. I checked out the website and sent them an email. If you need it in a rush, this is one way you can get your diploma apostille. They charge $175 for the first doc apostille and $95 each additional apostille. They take care of the apostille for you. You just have to send them the original diploma/degree.
So just gather like 4+ people in South Korea in the same situation and the apostille would be $175 (1st) and $95 (each additional) and save on shipping because it's on 1 order. Then just split the cost.

$175 may seem like a lot to some people, especially if time is not a problem, and you have people back home to do the leg work for you. But if you are in Korea, time is an issue, and you don't have people back home to do ALL of your leg work for you, then www.apostillepros.com is well worth the money. For a diploma, they can get an apostilled copy of your diploma in you hands in a week. And by a week, I mean from first contact with them, to when it is in your hands. I dealt with them, and they are very professional. It is actually $240 because of the overseas Fed-Ex charge, but again, if you are in a time pinch, it is well worth it.
Yes, I was in Korea. I had an agency take care of it. It cost me $240, which included international fed-x, but it was done very promptly. Yes, it was accepted by immigration. |

Job market in the u.s. is not good. They're even cutting days out of the school year to cut teachers salary.

There's so many people wanting to go to South Korea right now, so if you're leaving there's like 20 people wanting to take your spot.

Ya know I think Korea finally broke my back.
FBI check yeah I am cool with that. Pretty easy actually.
Then....I found out about the apostilling the degree. Even though mine
has a giant stamp on it and signatures of the dean and president etc etc.
Either I have to jump through a million hoops, or pay an ass ton of money for an apostilling service to "teach" here.
Since I am an American and went to Canada for college this Kafka-esque adventure got allot more fun.
Screw it suckers. I am going to hike the Appalachian Trail.
Later. |

| The US job market will pick up eventually. always goes in circle. First there are too manyh teachers, so teachers get out of teaching, then there's a shortage, etc. Same thing happens with nurses. |

You have to fly back to the U.S. to do it or if you know someone in the U.S.

Apologies for posting what I know has probably been answered before...
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give. I've read through old posts, tried searching and done some research, but still having trouble...
Is there any way to get a Diploma (or copy of) apostilled IN Korea? Or, must one notarize and apostille through their home state (in this case, U.S.)?
Anyone gotten their diploma apostilled IN Korea?
Thanks for any help. |

| Official university transcripts (at least the university I come from) are printed on paper that is just like money. They can't be forged. It's the one thing on Khao San road that is unforgable. What is the deal with the apostilled diploma? |

Are you joking?
Every university prints their diplomas with different paper stock, watermarks and other identifying marks. This makes them easy to forge since a foreign government doesn't have diploma forgery expert that has studied the 1000's of different types of diplomas from around the world. The apostille may or may not be a waste of time but diplomas are nothing like money when it comes to forging. |

| You can't apostille a degree in Korea. You can go to the US embassy, pay $50 and have a sworn affadavit notorized and attached to your degree COPY, then send it to the DOS in Washington DC for the apostille..OR, you can send it back to your home state, have someone there get an affadavit notorized in lieu of your absence, then they can send it to the secretary of state for the apostille. For me, the embassy route is quicker and better, since many people in my state don't even know what all this stuff is...trust me...got the run around like crazy last year...PLUS, there is no way I would put all this stress on my Mom and Dad..I love them too much to put them through this running around. |
Can I send my degree home to my parents and have them get it notarized without me there? What is this affadavit? Is this something I need to write? Or something my parents write? What does it have to say? |

Yes, you can. The notary or your parnets would then write, this is a true and verified copy. They stamp and sign. Then that goes to the Sec of State. Easy as pie. |

They help send in fbi fingerprint cards too as they are certified fingerprint rollers, so they check your fingerprints if its valid for acceptable.

I think there is a site where you can check if the school is legit.

It all depends on the state and the Notary--50 states, 50 different sets of rules.
My degrees are from MI and PA.
I had to get them both notarized IN PERSON; nobody could do it for me.
It also depends on the Notary-all notaries public CAN do it, just not all of them WILL.
I went through 3 notaries who said that I had to get them notarized at the Universities, but that isn't true.
Some states require affadavits typed up by a notary, and some just require sworn statements by you.
But I had to sign the document in person in both cases--
That's just my story--ugh |
