I am working on a US teaching certification. Because of my time in Korea, I need a Korean Criminal Background Check IN ENGLISH.
Has anyone else ever done this?
Have any ideas for me?
Thanks, |

I did this before I left Korea. I went to a Korean police station with my passport and alien card. It takes 10-15 minutes for them to process a Korean CBC. Then you should have it translated then notarized and finally authenticated. Here's an old post of mine that will help...
I was able to find more information on this. If you need more than just notarization of your documents then you can get what is called 영사 확인 (yeong-sa hwa-gin) which, from what I understand, would be the Korean equivalent of an apostille. This is done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. I have been told that you will have to go through the translation / notarization process first, and then bring these documents to the ministry building to get the authentication you need. You will of course want to make sure that you have the documents translated into a language that will be accepted for your visa application. Once the documents are translated and notarized then you need to bring them to the department called the 민원-여권과 (min-won yeoggweon-gwa, could be translated as Civil Affairs and Passport Department) in the ministry building which is located across from the Jongno District Office (see attached map).
The Itaewon-Hannam Global Help Village provided this information. I did as they said, and it all worked out well! Many thanks!!!!!!!! |

| There are some translation agencies behind the American Embassy in Seoul. |

For authentication: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Civil Affairs and Passport Department is very close to the American Embassy as well. Contact Paul Hussey at the Itaewon-Hannam Global Village Center for the map.
