 |
|
Hi, quick question for ya'll. I've done a search on this and while there is information it has left me a bit confused.
If I want to get a copy of my degree notarized (so I don't have to give the original to a recruiter or school) in Vancouver, do I need to get it notarized by a lawyer first and then get it stamped at the Korean consulate
or
Do I just bring the original to the consulate, with some copies and they do their thing?
Also, does it matter if the copy of the degree is in color or b & w? |

IF you are going to the Vancouver consulate, take your ORIGINAL degree, as many copies (B&W or color-choice is yours) as you want notarized and a SEALED university transcript.
Pay the fee ($3-4 per copy).
They will rubber stamp and put the sticky postage type stamp on the copies and return them to you. You will also need some ID (they like to see your passport). |

| Hmmm, that runs contrary to my experience. When I got mine notarized at the ebassy in Ottawa, I had to go to a lawyer and get it notarized first ($10), THEN I had to take it to the embassy with sealed transcripts to have it stamped (not with a sticky stamp, but an ink stamp) |

| Maybe I'll just phone the consulate and find out the real deal! Thanks anyway though. |

Process of notarization.
1) Public Notary verifies the signature on your degree - A public notary can be found in the yellow pages.
2) The public notary is verified by the dept. of Internal affairs.
3) Some countries require that internal affairs is verified by foreign affairs - Korea requires this. Internal affairs forward the documents to foreign affairs.
4) You receive a notarized degree.
You can do all this just by contacting your embassy or a public notary.
Hope that helps. |
