Hire Teachers Faster: Apostille Support for TEFL Recruiters and Schools Abroad

Streamline Your Teacher Hiring Process with Apostille-Ready Documents

If you're a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) recruiter or international school hiring teachers from the United States, you already know the paperwork can slow everything down. Apostilles, background checks, notarized degrees, and certified translations are often required before your teachers can apply for visas or legally start work.

Delays in document processing can cost you a qualified teacher or delay a new school term. We help you move faster and stay compliant.

Why Apostilles Are Essential for U.S. Teachers Working Abroad

Before a U.S. citizen can legally teach English overseas, they usually must provide:

• A notarized and apostilled copy of their diploma

• An FBI background check with apostille or embassy legalization

• A signed teaching contract, often notarized and apostilled

• A TEFL certification, sometimes requiring authentication

• Certified translations of these documents (depending on the country)

Countries like South Korea, Spain, Vietnam, and the UAE have strict documentation standards. Missing just one step can delay visa approval or work permit processing.

Documents That Typically Require Apostille for TEFL Jobs

• University Diploma: Proof of education for visa and school approval

• FBI Background Check: Required for work visa and safety clearances

• TEFL Certificate: Confirms teaching credentials

• Notarized Contract: Validates job offer for immigration processing

• Passport Copy (Notarized): Often needed for visa application
