Step #5 - Gathering Documents: University Diploma

All Nationalities (except Canadians)

As Korean immigration no longer accepts original degree diplomas, you now have the following two options available to you:

1) You can have a copy of your degree verified by your local Korean Consulate.

OR

2) You can have a copy of your degree notarised and then subsequently Apostilled.


The process for getting a degree notarised and apostilled varies between countries. The links below connect you to the various organizations that can provide apostille services.

Australia

Ireland

New Zealand

South Africa

UK
Note: UK applicants can get copies of their degree certified instead of notarised. This service is far more cost effective (£5-15 instead of £65+), but will still be accepted for Apostille and is also acceptable to Korean Immigration.

USA



Canadian Nationals

Canadians have the following two options available to them:

1) You can have a copy of your degree verified by your local Korean Consulate (preferred option).
