update 4

I now have my apostille on my FBI background check. All of my documents will be in Korea the first week in February.

All these new regulations ended up being really expensive, but I had to get it done.

I should be in Korea in about 30 days!! I can't wait to be back!

Hello, I don't know you but I found your blog through randomly googling looking for information. I'm in the middle of this paperwork process myself, and found your tips helpful.

I do have a question that I hope you might shed some light on with your experience. I'm most concerned about is getting an apostille on my diploma. I have the original copy of it here, but I've read that you need to get it notarized before it can be apostilled. You mentioned something about not needing the notarization though, so I was wondering if you could elaborate on that?

I was told that I needed the original diploma (if you are a new teacher). I sent in the original to the secretary of state in my state and they gave me the apostille. I didn't have it notarized and they gave me the apostille.

If you are sending a copy of your degree it has to have an affidavit signed by a notary saying that its a true copy.
