Apostilles are an affix that makes a document acceptable internationally. Korean law requires degrees and CRB checks to have an 

apostille attached to any certified documents.   A copy of the degree(s) and an original CRB certificate must be certified. Only then will you be able to

get the necessary apostille attached in FCO. 

Original birth certificate or an official register copy of the birth certificate can be apostilled without a certified stamp.
