Submitting a salary certificate in Taiwan — how must it be translated and certified?

The scope of this answer is “Submitting a salary certificate in Taiwan”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The biggest risk in cases like this is doing the certification steps out of order, which forces a restart. Before starting, confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies. The specifics here are document type: Salarycert; destination: Tw, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · salary · certificate · Taiwan. A Thai labour document intended for use abroad is normally translated into the target language, then submitted for certification of the translation to the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the embassy or consulate of the destination country where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalisation for foreign public documents, so no Apostille is issued for Thai documents. Names, dates, job titles and wage figures must match across every document in the same set. If the spelling on an employment certificate differs from the passport or ID card, the issuer should correct the original before translation, because a translator has no authority to alter source text and changing only the translation creates an inconsistency that gets the file 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. In labour files the documents most often signature-certified are powers of attorney, self-declarations and statements filed with foreign authorities. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
