Money order. or, Cashiers check.

I have to send money to Canada to replace my birth certificate, but nobody here at my school (they speak English very well) has any idea what this is. I have explained that it's a check you buy from the bank. You give them the exact money, and they give you a check for that amount in the currency desired. Blank stares.

Anyone?

Because they don't speak English at the bank, so I need to take a translation with me. Get it?

Money order is "upyeon hwan" (can't write Korean on this comp)

Cashier's check is apparently "jagi-ap supyo."

But typing "money order" or "cashiers check" into the Naver dictionary could've told you that... Confused

Thank you,
I can't read Korean, and the couple of times I've tried to use naver, I haven't been able to figure out which text is the one I want.

Yeah, at least I'm sitting at home right now sipping a cold Heineken and not teaching some Korean brats at a Hogwon.
