I think it has to be the consulate or embassy closest to the university you graduated from. I took it to the consulate closest to where I lived at the time, which wasn't the closest one to my uni, and they refused to notarize it. |

Any consulate will do! Of course for them to notorize it you must also send them the original....sending a copy is just crazy! How are they supposed to notorize it if they dont have the original to authenticate it?
Take or send original to consulate, get copies. |

What about Passport and Transcripts? Should I go ahead and send copies of them in the same envelope? Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. |
I just got mine back a couple of days ago. I had to send it to San Francisco. You need to send $2.00 (money order) for each one you want notarized. You also need to send a copy of your passport info. page and your drivers license or other photo ID and, of course, your original diploma. You also need to send a stamped return envelope and the consulate in San Fran also wanted a note saying what I wanted done and a contact phone number. I didn't need transcripts so I'm assuming you won't for the Houston consulate either. You might want to call them first to see if they have some other requirements specific to the Houston consulate. Their number is (713) 961-0186. Hope this helps. |

I guess things in Vancouver are different then. I got my B.ED from the University of Western Ontario, which I think is a fairly respectable university in Ontario. At least as respectable as University of Victoria. But that's wierd that things aren't the same across the country. Gotta love Korean logic.  |

That almost happened to me as well. The woman at the consulate took pity on me and notarized it.
Also, there was no mention of this on the website, so you need to call and find out for sure. |

ONE last time!
Read carefully!
Take your original degree to the consolate or embassy get as many notorized copies as they are willing to give you.
They will not notorize copies without the original present.
No original...no notorized copies.
It doesnt matter where the uni is or where the embassy is...or what country it is in! |

| I am leaving August 18, to Korea. I want to mail the Korean counselete my degree, and get it notarized here. First time I went to Korea, I just mailed all my papers for the visa, degrees included, and it was over a year before I got my originals back. What documents do I need to mail to the counselette? Airmail? Please help. |

| I mailed my stuff today to the counsulate. I called and asked first what to mail. The lady in Houston told me, a notarized copy( I got my degrees notarized at the court house), OR the Original copy, a letter explaining to them what I needed done, a return self-addressed envelope, and a money order. |
