So I have been given the following list of items needed for my E2 VISA (I am Canadian):

1. notarized and Korean consulate certified copy of diploma
2. two copies of official transcripts (signed, dated, and sealed) (required by consulate)
3. photocopy of the face page of your passport
4. K-consulate certified criminal background check
5. resume
6. signed copy of your contract
7. four passport-sized photos
8. medical examination self-check form

I understand all the requirements except the first. By "copy" of the diploma, does that mean a simple photocopy to send to the consulate, or does it need to be a university official copy.

Also, if anyone knows of a resource that explains these required steps in more detail, please let me know. It is relatively confusing...

Thanks!

Interesting, thanks for the assistance and the attitude.

When last I checked (grade 4, I think), the definition of copy might allow for both "official" and "unofficial" documents in this case. I can copy a 20 with a photocopier for instance, but it will likely not be accepted by the 7-11 cashier when I try to pay for my skittles. I was simply wondering if the "copy" of my diploma needs to be "official"(ie university issued like the transcripts).

The process I referred to as "confusing" is the overall process of applying for the VISA, rather than the notarization/ consulate certification process. I have since found the resource I had requested. But thank you again for typing those paragraphs.
