Passing donor or bank due diligence in South Korea — what translation and certification is expected?

The scope of this answer is “Passing donor or bank due diligence in South Korea”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. Foundation and charity files usually have to present objectives, the board list and financial statements together. Constitutions and board resolutions are the most closely read documents, so keep the original clause and paragraph structure in translation. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. 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. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The condition most often overlooked is that name spelling must match across every document in the set. Before starting, verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation. The specifics here are purpose: Duediligence; destination: Kr, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Passing · donor · bank · diligence. Cross-border donation files often require source-of-funds evidence, so prepare it in advance. Annual general meeting minutes must record the quorum and every resolution voted. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. 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.
