In pursuit of the mythical apostillised criminal records check i have already paid 20 000 won at the post office to snail mail (express courier) all my documents back to NZ, which the NZ justice department did not receive. This was after i was told by both the schools i work at that i couldn't send an international fax on their fax machines, and also told that at of all places, the post office (i mean really....you can't send an international fax from a branch of a post office WTF?) so i guess i'll be traipsing round seoul looking for somewhere that will be gracious enough to let me pay them to use their services, either that or give up and *beep* off.

FedEx/ Kinko's. And some of the Morning Glory stationery stores will allow international faxes. I had to fax some papers to Canada last year and it cost me 10000 won for three pages.

KT Telecome, a main branch, has always done it for me.

I've sent a few faxes from my bank over the years. Free of charge.

I bought my own phone/fax machine long ago. I rarely use the fax function nowadays, but it was still a good investment whenever I ned to fire off a fax at the last minute.

*Investment isn't really the right word either. It only cost me $40. International faxes are no different from local faxes, except for the phone number used. No secret decoder ring needed.

The Post Office will NOT send international faxes. Go to an Alpha or Kinko's.

If you send something by EMS, it will go there fast i.e. in about 3-4 days, but it will cost you about 16 bucks.
