We handle your Korean police clearance certificate from request through delivery, wherever your job application is headed. Korean police clearance certificate issued and apostilled for an overseas job application — fully remote, no Korean ID access needed.
International employers, especially in the US, EU, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, often require applicants to submit a criminal background check from every country where they resided for an extended period. Foreign nationals who previously worked or studied in Korea are commonly asked to provide this document as part of their pre-employment screening. This applies whether you were in Korea on an E-2 teaching visa, an E-7 skilled worker visa, or an E-9 work visa — the certificate is issued in Korea and apostilled for your job application in another country.
Employer HR departments and recruitment agencies typically cannot access or navigate the Korean government issuance system on the applicant's behalf, and applicants themselves lose the identity verification tools needed once they have left Korea. This creates delays that can jeopardize job offers with fixed onboarding deadlines.
This service is for anyone who previously lived, worked, or studied in Korea and now needs a Korean police clearance certificate for an overseas job application — including former holders of an E-2 teaching visa, E-7 skilled worker visa, E-9 work visa, or D-2 student visa, and Korean nationals living abroad. You do not need a Korean bank account, Korean mobile number, or Digital Certificate (Joint Certificate) — a signed power of attorney and identity verification are enough for us to request the certificate on your behalf.
There are two ways to get a Korean police clearance certificate authenticated for a job application once you've left Korea.
Option 1 — Handle it yourself. You can request the certificate directly from the relevant Korean police office (which requires Korean identity verification, and in many cases an in-person visit or a Korean-resident representative), then bring it to Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for an Apostille, or to your destination country's embassy or consulate in Korea for Consular Confirmation. This is possible without a service, but it typically requires a trip back to Korea or a Korean resident acting on your behalf.
Option 2 — Use GetKoreanDocs. We request the certificate on your behalf, complete the Apostille or Consular Confirmation, and ship the finished document to you — or directly to your employer's HR department — internationally, without you needing to set foot in Korea.
Two ways to complete authentication, depending on your destination country.
Covers issuance of the certificate and Hague Apostille certification, for destination countries that are Hague Convention members.
Final pricing depends on your destination country's embassy or consulate in Korea, and is confirmed during your consultation.
01
Tell us which document you need and where it's being submitted. No Korean phone number, Digital Certificate (Joint Certificate), or physical visit required on your end — you sign a power of attorney and provide identity verification, and we handle the rest directly with the issuing agency.
02
We request the document on your behalf from the relevant Korean government office.
03
Based on the destination country you provide, we apply the required certification — including notarization first, when that's a prerequisite.

Your completed, authenticated document is shipped directly to your address, anywhere in the world.
Yes. We request the certificate from the relevant Korean police office and complete the Apostille or Consular Confirmation on your behalf, without you needing to visit Korea in person.
No. You sign a power of attorney and provide identity verification — we handle everything else directly with the issuing agency, including applicants who no longer hold any Korean visa or residency status.
Yes — many employers and background-check agencies require this. We can ship your completed, authenticated certificate in a sealed envelope directly to your employer's HR department or background-check agency for an additional fee.
Apostille and Consular Confirmation packages generally take 12 or more business days to process, not including international shipping. Exact timing depends on the certificate type and destination country, and is confirmed during your consultation.
Yes. If your employer is covering or reimbursing the cost, we can issue an English-language corporate invoice or receipt suitable for company expense processing.
That's common — tell us your destination country during your free consultation, and we'll confirm the correct authentication path before anything is charged.
