Sorry if this question has been addressed elsewhere, but well, it's just easier to ask again than to try to use the awful search function
When getting applying for the US federal background check the FBI website says that they will authenticate the report which will make it eligible for being apostilled. Is that the same thing as being notarized, which, as far as I understand is one of Korea's requirements.
A little confusing. Here is a rundown of what I think has to happen
Apply for background check (request and receive stamp of FBI authenticity), send to be notarized, send to be apostilled, send to korea
or
Apply for background check (request and receive stamp of FBI authenticity), send to be apostilled, send to Korea
Thanks and God bless you to anyone who has gone through this already. |

The only purpose of the apostille is to state that the notary is valid and not some guy who carved out his own stamp in his garage or had it made at Office Depot.
It would be impossible for any country to know which notaries are valid or not in other countries.
Basically, the FBI notarizes the paper for you, and then the apostille let's the global community know that the notary is a valid one.
So trust me, if you get it apostilled, you're good to go. |
