 |

Getting a copy of your degree certificate notarised and then having an apostille put on it can be expenive.
I would like to know can it be re-used again and wheter it has an expiry date like your Criminal Check? |

DON'T get your original degree apostilled.
Get a certified true copy of your degree and get the apostille on that.
That is what you send to Korean immigration (through your employer/recruiter).
You WON'T get it back - which is why immigration wants a (photo)copy of the degree with an apostille affixed to it and they no longer accept originals for the visa application process.
So, I guess to answer your question, since immigration WON'T return it you also won't be able to use it again.

| But getting the photocopy notarised cost more than getting a replacement. |

How is getting the photo copy notarized and apostilled any more expensive than getting the original notarized and apostilled (other than the cost of a photocopy)?
Regardless, whatever you send (original with apostille or copy with apostille) you will lose it (immigration will keep it and NOT return it).

Does anyone know if they expire? I got several apostilled copies of my degree last year before my first year in Korea. |

A couple weeks ago my local immigration office was satisfied with a photocopy of my diploma that was stamped 12 years ago by the Vancouver consulate.
(They gave it back to me too.)

My state, MO, will ONLY apostille original documents, no photocopy allowed.

It must be an odd one if it won't appostille a certified true copy of a document (since in theory there can only be one original).
