Records when returning to Korea

The licence still needs checking

Not found on the MOE simplified list and no host-government licence on record yet. Before enrolling, ask the school for proof of registration with the local education authority; on return, prepare apostilled or consular-confirmed documents.

When you return to Korea, the local education office decides on recognition from the school's government approval and the documents (apostille or consular confirmation).

Document confirmation

This country is a party to the Apostille Convention. For a school not on the list, get an apostille from the local authority.

If the school is not on the list

Show that it is a regular school (for example the local education authority's list of recognised schools), or submit documents with an apostille (convention countries) or consular confirmation (others). Additions to the list go through the Korean mission or Korean Education Centre.

Collect from the school before you leave

· The MOE list only simplifies paperwork. It does not vouch for teaching quality.
· It does not apply to university admission (e.g. overseas Koreans' special admission). Check each university's guide.
· Education offices spot-check re-entry documents; forged or altered documents cancel the transfer.
