How do I get a Korean criminal record certificate apostilled for Trinidad and Tobago?
Korea's criminal record certificate (범죄·수사경력 회보서) is issued by the Korean National Police Agency — online at crims.police.go.kr ('외국 입국/체류' menu) after identity verification, or by applying in person at a Korean embassy or consulate abroad (about 14 days). As a public document issued by a state agency it needs no notarization. Trinidad and Tobago has been an Apostille Convention party since 2000-07-14 (HCCH Status Table), so you then apply for an apostille at the Overseas Korean Agency. See Criminal record certificate apostille.
