Submitting an adoption registration to South Korea — how must it be translated and certified?

The scope of this answer is “Submitting an adoption registration to South Korea”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. Keep certified copies, because registry documents are usually requested again at the next stage. Hearing minutes evidence case status, so obtain the latest version before certifying. The specifics here are document type: Adoption; destination: Kr, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · adoption · registration · South. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. 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. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. 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. Court petitions should follow the court's own form wording rather than being rephrased. If the issuing district office has been merged, obtain a clarification letter from the successor office. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. Before translation, check that the birth certificate, house registration, ID card and passport agree on spelling, date of birth and the national ID number; a mismatch must be corrected by the registrar at source, because a translation must reflect the original exactly and cannot be adjusted to fit. Most receiving authorities want a registrar-certified copy of the register rather than a photocopy made by the holder, because the certified copy carries the registrar's signature and seal that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can verify; obtain a freshly issued certified copy before starting the translation and legalisation steps. A Thai civil registration document for overseas use is normally translated into the language the destination requires, then legalised by the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and where required further legalised by the destination country's embassy or consulate. Cost and lead time depend on the number of documents, the language pair and the certification steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
