For those in the UK. Check this website http://www.thenotariessociety.org.uk/ for notary public in the UK.

as someone who has been through this process before..there is a difference between a solicitor and a notary..you do not need it notorised a solicitors signature will do..it has to be appostiled the CRC cannot be signed as it is already the official document..you just need it appostliled..

And looked on the website and saw the 80 fee..but then clicked on a link and it took me to another official site where the fee was 33..so which is real..It seems ridiculous for it to double in a year..

I'm already in Korea and am about to come to the end of my second year in February 2012. I want to stay another year and I remember when I renewed last time they told me I needed to give them paperwork to get an extension the problem is I can't recall what it was. I'm guesing it is the CBC but before I go and order one, I wanted to see if anyone else knows what they require. I'm not sure if the person on 1345 fully understood what I was asking.

so quick recap if you are in korea.

1.
Take disclosure scotland check to embassy and sign a sworn affidavit in front of a consular officer and then they will stamp it ...JOB DONE
2.
send degree to a solicitor/notary get him to rustle up to photocopies and sign them to say they are a true copies. Forward these onto fco get them to send them back to uni
3.
uni transcripts, easy, get uni to send to you.



Please tell me it is as simple as this ?


also, interesting to see that fco don't accept copies of police checks, so it would really be handy if the above is true...

Is the UK embassy visa processing info all present and correct. Really don't want to be sending my passport off to an old addy!

I had my degree photocopy signed/stamped "as true to original" by a local solicitor for �10.

When I applied for the disclosure scotland CBC I requested that they 'notarize' it (just had an official stamp) for me FREE of charge.

Korean Immigration accepted them fine.

So the degree copy definitely does not need to be notarized (signed as true to original is fine), but the CBC may need to be taken to a notary if you dont request disclosure scotland to do it before sending it out.

I have been told i need 2 x degree copies and 2 original CBC all apostilled. So 4 apostilles? Is this correct?

Hi guys,

I went to immigration today to renew my E2 with my current employer. I am British, and I have been in Korea continuously since 2008. I submitted an apostilled CRC when I first arrived back in 2008. I submitted an apostilled diploma 6 months ago and was told I was 'all done' at immigration. Today they told me I need to submit another CRC, issued within the last 6 months, as they have no record of my original CRC.

I managed to convince them to give me a 6 month extension on my ARC, but I was under the impression I only had to submit a new CRC if I left the country for 3 months or more.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Julius,

I submitted an apostilled national CRC when I first got my ARC card back in 2008. I am going to ask a Korean friend to call and try to get this sorted out.
