You need a National Police Clearance Certificate Criminal Records Checks: The cerificate is accepted by Korean Immigration for up to 6 months, so we strongly recommend that you get started on it right away. Apostille Procedures: * For an E2 teaching visa (Korea), only a criminal background check needs to be authenticated with an apostille. You can have the Apostille Australia Certificate Service certify your document for $200 AUD, although we recommend doing it yourself through one of the offices we have listed at the bottom of the page to save you money (you save $140 AUD!) What you need to do:Bring the ORIGINAL criminal background check to the apostille of the state you are in. It can also be couriered to the office with a money order, certified cheque, or paid by credit card. If paying by cheque or money order, be sure to make the cheque out to the appropriate office. If paying by credit card, you must request a credit card authorisation form by email. Contact information for all apostille locations are listed below, along with processing fees.
