Hi,

I have a criminal record check from Korea that I need translated into English. It has to be an official translation (I haven't been given any details beyond that, but it's for teacher registration in New Zealand).

Does anyone know any specific places that this can be done in Seoul? Do you have any ideas about costs or hours of operation?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out.

A couple of years ago, I had to get some documents translated from Korean to English. In front of the American Embassy in Seoul (and nearby), you can find a bunch of translation shops.

I believe they do same day service (not sure about hours on weekends, i.e. whether they are open or not).

I don't remember their rates, but I hope a few things done and it came to something like 200,000 or 300,000won. This was for translation and verified.

Here are some links:

Thanks,

the second link is actually pretty close to where I live (or so my ability to read Korean tells me) so I will probably try them first.

All I have is a one page document, so hopefully it won't be too much (and here I was all happy that the record check was free... oh well).

Check my other thread.

They actually issue an English police clearance certificate
