Pick the schools attended to see the checks and documents you need.

Route per school

The receiving education office and school decide on recognition and grade placement. This is reference information from official sources.

Usually submitted too. Check the final list in your local education office's re-entry notice.

Step 1 of 7

1.A month before leaving, ask the school for original enrolment, transcript (including the last term) and graduation documents.
2.Check that each document shows the grades and dates and the principal's signature or stamp.
3.Apostille or consular confirmation is easier while you are still in the country; afterwards you need post or an agent.
4.Arrange notarised translations for documents not in Korean or English.
5.Scan everything into the document vault and keep the originals apart.
6.Keep the school office's contact so you can order more copies later.
7.Check your local education office's re-entry notice and dates.

· Only time at a regular school abroad of at least one term (6 months) counts. Kindergarten and language courses do not.
· The MOE list simplifies paperwork; it does not vouch for quality and does not apply to university admission.
· Education offices spot-check documents; forged or altered documents cancel the transfer.
· Expected cost and time: confirmed on request
