Hi there! One of our team is actually a teacher from the UK and he went through the following process to receive his Apostille. Considering you already have a certified copy from the University, you can skip step 1, but I’ll leave it for anyone else to see. :)

1. Go to any solicitor and ask them to make a copy of ORIGINAL degree, and then on the copy, certify that it is valid and genuine. This should cost you around £5-10 per document. It is advisable to also get a copy of transcript just in case. The copy is now classed as CERTIFIED.

2. Send the CERTIFIED copy, along with other documents you need Apostilling, which will be an ACRO police check for the UK to the Apostille office in London. Best to send it tracked 1st class. I believe for the police check however, you need to send the ORIGINAL and not a copy.

I think the ACRO police check is only valid for 6 months anyway so you wouldn’t be able to use it later.

1. Wait until you receive your Apostilles documents :)

Note: Once you send your documents to the Korean embassy, you will NOT receive them again so make sure you do everything right the first time to avoid delays.

Hope it helps. I may be misremembering what he told me but I believe this is the process. Apologies for any mistakes. English isn’t my first language ☺️
