They use a once over with their eyeballs. Nothing's changed. There were a few offices that apparently made an attempt to go beyond that, in the brief fallout of the whole situation, but there was no organized front and approach on how to do it with the staffing issues that they have, so it naturally fizzled out.
Their kneejerk reaction of busting some illegals to make the press in order to placate the outspoken types, and to give off the image of accountability, succeeded in accomplishing their desired effect, just like so many crackdowns tend to go in the various aspects of Korean life.
As much as the govt despises them, they do really know how to work the media.

I recently had to get mine inspected before I left Vancouver. I had to take them to a notary public who did certified copies, then to the Korean consulate who stamped the certified copies but still wanted to see the originals. I guess that intermediate step of a notary gives them some comfort of authenticity.
They were accepted by the visa office in Korea and never had to show originals.
Total cost about $30 per degree. |

| I told them what it takes to check a degree - diplomas have nothing to do with it. You cannot notarize a diploma, regardless of what you hear. these people are fat headed. |

Check my post a few up. The notary who did mine says she does it all the time. But then what does she know? |
