Is there anywhere in Korea where one can get notarised copies made of one's degrees? Were would one find a Korean notary (is there a Korean term), and what proof of identity would one need?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Most lawyer's offices have notary services. I have had many documents notarised here. I think you just need your ARC but it might be wise to take your passport too. I think it costs around 30,000 KRW (but don't bitch at me if I am not spot on!)

I agree with Wang-ja. My wife and I had to get something notarized and we went to a lawyer to have it done. I think it was 25,000won. It probably depends on which lawyer you go to, or maybe the service is slightly more expensive in Seoul.

This might help:

last time I needed a copy of my degree notorized I took the original to immigration in Donghae, they photocopied it, and notorized it for me.
Cost zero, zip, nada!
Time 5 minutes.
Was accepted by Gyeonggi immigration without any problems.

Sounds like Grotto's advice might be better. I still have my scanned "Certified Copy of True Original" saved to disk that I had done in Montreal back in '97 and it has been accepted with no question up to now. With all the recent changes, next year may be different.

Last time they took my notarized copies of the degree and transcripts (notarized by the Amer. embassy) without problem. Is this still good enough?

Sorry, but I talked to a bunch of recruiters and about a dozen dim-witted imm, off. and they all said the same thing to me-

Notarized copies are no longer accepted.



If they accepted them, I think it would've been a hell of alot easier than calling up the uni to request additional sealed copies of transcripts. Saves both time and money

Do you think the Korean consulate in Fukuoka would do them?
