Submitting a power purchase agreement with its schedules in South Korea — how must it be translated and certified?

The scope of this answer is “Submitting a power purchase agreement with its schedules in South Korea”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. Power purchase agreements carry units and price-adjustment formulas that must keep their original numeric format. Energy business licences cite a number and issue date that must match every attachment. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. Environmental impact reports have technical annexes; state clearly which parts are being certified. Solar and wind project files include engineering drawings, so agree on drawing certification in advance. The specifics here are document type: Ppa; destination: Kr, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · power · purchase · agreement. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. Very small power producer connection filings use each utility's own form set. Grid connection codes use defined terms that should not be translated by ordinary meaning. A Thai energy or environmental document intended for use abroad normally starts with a copy certified by the issuing authority, is then translated by a translator who takes responsibility for accuracy, is certified by the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and is finally legalised at 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. The English company name and project name must be spelled identically across the whole set, following the company affidavit, and the translator must not invent a new form. Measurement values, units and coordinates in the reports must be copied exactly, with no unit conversion and no rounding. If the original contains an error, the authority or the report preparer must correct the original, because changing only the translation makes the set inconsistent and gets it returned. Thailand has no common-law notary public. Certification of signatures, true copies or affidavits for overseas use is performed by a Notarial Services Attorney registered under the rules of the Lawyers Council of Thailand. On energy projects the documents most often signature-certified are directors' powers of attorney, statements by the responsible engineer, and declarations filed with an overseas lender or joint-venture partner. Cost and lead time depend on page count, the density of tables and measurement data, the target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
