Yeah, and your OP shows that you don't have a clue about what a notary is or does. That's not my fault. It's also not my fault that your wording of the OP indicated you wanted to know how to circumvent the required procedure.

from nationalnotary.org:
It is the foremost duty of a Notary to screen the signers of particularly sensitive instruments � such as property deeds, wills and powers of attorney � for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the general import of the document. Some notarizations also require the Notary to put the signer under an oath declaring under penalty of perjury that the information contained in a document is true and correct. |
Anywhere in there that says that's their only duty? As mentioned above--whether you like it or not--a notary also certifies that a copy of a document is, in fact, a copy of that document. From the link you supplied, under the "What are Notarial Acts?" section of the "What is a Notary?" page, you can see this little tidbit:

| Certified Copies. The copy certification is performed to confirm that a reproduction of an original document is true, exact and complete. Such originals might include college degrees, passports and other important one-and-only personal papers which cannot be copy-certified by a public record office such as a bureau of vital statistics and which the holder must submit for some purpose but does not want to part with for fear of loss. This type of notarization is not an authorized notarial act in every state, and in the jurisdictions where it is authorized, may be executed only with certain kinds of original document. |
By the way, I really don't care how long you've been anywhere. The duration of your stay has no bearing whatsoever on matters of fact. A fact is that there have been people, both Korean and foreign, who have falsified their diplomas. The fact is that at least one foreigner has been sentenced to a prison term in Korea for falsifying his diploma. The fact is that notarization of a document is not just certifying that the person presenting the document is the one signing the document. |
