The passport business was a mess. I went one day to the post office, and she told me I was missing my birth certificate. And then I went to Florida for vacation. I came back from Florida on July 13th and my mom told me they had it on the news they raised prices that day and there was a huge scramble to renew passports July 12th. I missed it by one day. And they didn't even look at my birth certificate. Just my luck.
For the criminal background check, it took a while for me to figure out what I had to do first to get an Apostille for Korea. I ran around to different buildings and different floors of buildings. In the end, this is what it turned out to be:
- Go to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Office in Norwalk.
- 5th floor: Notary Public office to get a notary signature.
- 2nd floor: County Clerk office to get a notary authorization.
- Go to 300 Spring St. in downtown Los Angeles.
- 12th floor: Secretary of State office to get an Apostille for Korea.
