 |
|
| How can I get something, unrelated to my job, notarized here? Is the system anything like the US, with notaries available at banks and other businesses? This is nothing fancy, just need a notary to certify that I actually signed something. |

| I don't know where you're from, but if it needs to be in english try your embassy. I know the canadian embassy has notary services. |

| I'm guessing you are American? I think the embassy will do it, for a fee. |

If that's my only option, I'll do it, if I can get there during their short business hours. Still, though, I'd like to improve on a 90,000 won fee plus a KTX ticket. |

Dunno - I'm in Jeonju. Worth a thought, and some research, though - thanks! |

| From what I know, lawyers are the only ones that can notarize things in Korea. I don't think there are notary publics. When I needed to get a notarized copy of my diploma when applying for my masters, I had my girlfriend look into it. She just took it down to a lawyers office and they did the photo copy, put a seal on it with cover page in English. Cost about 30-40,000 won. I assume they'd be able to certify that you actually signed something. |

That would do the job - anyone know of a suitable Jeonju lawyer? |
