Receiving an overseas donation through a bank in South Korea — what translation and certification is expected?

The scope of this answer is “Receiving an overseas donation through a bank in South Korea”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. Audited foundation accounts must be translated together with all notes to the financial statements. Cross-border donation files often require source-of-funds evidence, so prepare it in advance. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. Before starting, check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps. The specifics here are purpose: Receivefund; destination: Kr, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Receiving · overseas · donation · through. Include the auditor's page with foundation accounts, since funders review it first. Foundation by-laws list objects clause by clause; keep the original numbering so they stay citable. Once the set is complete, check it line by line against the destination's own checklist before filing. A Thai document for use abroad is translated in full, including stamps and signatures, then submitted for certification to the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the destination country's embassy or consulate where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued for Thai documents. A document issued overseas — a charity status certificate, a grant agreement or a donor's power of attorney — is used in Thailand only after certification in the country of origin under that country's system, then by the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate there. It is then translated into Thai and the translation is certified by the Department of Consular Affairs before it is filed with a Thai body or a Thai bank. ILC handles documents only: translation, certified translation, coordinating a notarial services attorney and running certification at the Department of Consular Affairs and embassies. It is not a tax adviser, an auditor or a fundraising agent, it does not warrant that any organisation will be announced as a public charitable organisation, and it guarantees no decision by the Revenue Department, the foundation and association registrar, AMLO, a bank, a grant-maker or any foreign authority. Cost and lead time depend on page count, how many certified sets are needed, the target language and the steps the receiving party requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
