Authenticated copy of University Degree

We strongly recommend you to send authenticated copies, Not an original!

To notarize your degree, you’ll have to complete the following steps:

Step 1: Local Notarization

Make a photocopy and have the copy notarized as a true copy by a notary public (or registered solicitor in the UK) in the same state/province as the University.

Step 2: Apostille (or Consular seal in Canada)

Ÿ   For US citizens: bring/send the notarized copy to Secretary of State for authentication with an Apostille certificate.

Ÿ   For Canadian citizens: bring/send the notarized copy and original degree along with a copy of your passport and a set of transcripts to your Korean consulate for notarization/consular seal.

Ÿ   For UK citizens: bring/send the locally notarized copy to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office for the Apostille legalization.

In all cases it is significantly faster to go in person to the above mentioned institutions.

Keep your original degree with you, you will need it when you apply for your visa at the consulate.
