 |
|
I am sending off my FBI background check docs this week. However, I am in contact with multiple recruitment agencies, namely Korean Horizons and Hands Korea. Since Hands Korea requires a physical apostilled background check mailed in with the rest of my docs, do I need to send multiple applications for the check, or once I apply for the check will that provide for all of my job apps? Or should I only be applying for jobs through one agency? I am confused. I have scoured the FBI background check website for this information but I failed to find it. Any information would be helpful.

| Just to check, you are asking how to get multiple copies of your background check? I just began teaching this fall. For me, I mailed in only one application, but I made sure to note how many copies I wanted and wrote just one lump sum amount on the bank check I mailed with it. I hope this helps. |

That is precisely the question: do I need to request additional copies for each job I'm applying to, and send additional fee dollars to pay for each copy? I am also applying for several local U.S. teaching jobs to work in the meantime, which also require Federal background checks. So, even though I have gone through the process of acquiring an FBI background check for one job, I will have to either go through the process again for different job or submit a request for multiple copies? |

You shouldn't be sending your docs to Korea until you've got a guaranteed position. Email scans of your apostilled docs to recruiters, if they pressure you to send the original CRC etc before you have secured a job, then they're trying to get hold of your docs so they can hold them to ransom and force you into a terribad Hagwon somewhere. |

Don't ever give your documents to a recruiter under any circumstance.
You only send them once you get the job. |

If I were you, I'd pay for more than one check. I had 2 FBI checks from the FBI just in case. Request 2 or 3. It's not going to cost you an arm and a leg, and it would be good to have it. |

| adventurer is right, get 2 or 3, all apostilled. Once you have a job you only send in one with your other docs. If the job goes sour for whatever reason, you can switch jobs without much of a wait because you will have gotten extra copies of the CRC. |

On the FBI CBC request form that you mail with your prints, you put how many copies you want and write the total amount you're paying for them. |
