Does anybody know where I can find an English speaking Notary? I have some legal papers I have to have signed.

Thanks in advance.

Try your Embassy. I know the American Embassy has one.

I would say that your embassy is the best place. I tried to have a Korean notary handle a bank transfer document a month or two ago. They wanted to charge 70,000 as a flat fee and then take a percentage based on the amount of money being transferred! They wanted to charge a total of 130,000 to notarize one document. I wouldn't bother with Korean notaries, whether they speak English or not, and would head to your embassy.

The U.S. Embassy charges 31,500 (price just went up from 30,000 based on the exchange rate) for the first document and around 25,000 for subsequent documents needing notarization.

This worked. Thanks for the info. I went down to the Canadian Embassy and had it done for about 45,000w.

great!

Wait, help a newbie out... You need to *pay* to have things notarized here? I have never, ever, ever paid for a notary, ever. I either have my department's admin assistant do it, my bank's branch manager, or my attorney. Since I do business with them in other matters, they always do it for me for free. Seriously, before I came here, I drew up a (rather flimsy) will, and had one notary on my signature, a second one to notarize the first one's witness, and a third one to notarize the second one as witness, and it didn't cost a dime.

Are we saying that's not the case here?
