Handling a Workmen's Compensation Fund matter in Taiwan — what translation and certification is expected?

This question is specifically about “Handling a Workmen's Compensation Fund matter in Taiwan”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. The terms that frame this page are Handling · Workmen's · Compensation · Fund. The specifics here are purpose: Wcfcase; destination: Tw, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. 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 common failure in this group of cases is a translation that does not match the certification type required. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. 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. An employment or fund document issued abroad for use in Thailand is first certified under the system of the issuing country, then legalised by the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate there, and afterwards translated into Thai with the translation certified by the Department of Consular Affairs where the Thai receiving body requires it. That receiving body decides whether originals, certified copies or a given number of translation sets are needed. 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 law firm, does not represent employees or employers in labour disputes, does not lodge Social Security Office benefit claims on an insured person's behalf, and guarantees no decision by any authority, fund or employer. 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.
