Re: Korea Criminal Background Check
Depending on the time, I believe Sept 2011, you have to submit, degree apostille and FBI check apostille.
FBI check takes about 6-12 weeks to get. You can expedite the apostille. If you are in South Korea what you can do it send the FBI fingerprints to Apostille Pros www.apostillepros.com
They will obtain the FBI check for you, then obtain the apostille and send to South Korea rather than sending back and forth. It will save you time and money with FedEx.
Re: Korea Criminal Background Check
Who asked you to submit these documents? Immigration, your school, the police themselves?
I know that when first joining my school they asked for two background checks, one for immigration and one for the local Gu office. I can't remember the exact reason but it was something to do with legally registering me as a worker at that school, or insurance or something like that.
I work at a university, so I am not sure if it is specific to all schools or just mine. And at the time I remember a copy sufficing so it might be somethig that schools do automatically without requiring your input.
On the other hand this might be totally unrelated to what you are asking about!
