FBI Identity History Summary
Start with the FBI’s official process and confirm the format and timing required by the recruiter.
FBI official guidance ↗South Korea candidate resources
Know what to handle—and who should handle it.
Start with official instructions and your recruiter’s current checklist. Use a paid service only when it genuinely saves time or solves a step you do not want to manage yourself.

Documents and authentication
Use the correct authority for each document.
An apostille is not a generic stamp. The issuing authority and process depend on whether the document is federal, state, educational, or issued outside the United States.
Federal apostille
The U.S. Department of State explains how federal documents, including eligible FBI results, are prepared for apostille.
U.S. apostille guidance ↗Korean visa information
Visa requirements depend on the exact E-2 route, sponsor, nationality, and responsible consulate.
Korea Visa Portal ↗Before paying anyone: ask the recruiter which documents are currently required, how recently they must be issued, which authority must apostille them, and whether the recruiter or school already has a preferred process.
Preparation roadmap
Know which areas may need attention.
These are planning categories, not provider recommendations. Specific services and links will appear only after they have been checked against the recruiter’s current process.
Fingerprints and background checks
Official collection options, processing time, delivery format, and privacy practices matter.
Apostille and courier help
Optional paid assistance can be useful when timing, tracking, or international delivery is complicated.
Diploma copies and records
Confirm whether the school or recruiter needs an original, certified copy, notarization, or apostille.
TEFL preparation
Only promote courses that the current recruiter accepts and that provide meaningful classroom preparation.
Insurance and arrival tools
Consider only services that fit the actual contract, coverage gap, and arrival plan.
Phone, money, and practical setup
Arrival resources should supplement—not conflict with—support already supplied by the recruiter or school.
