What can a document provider do — and not do — for foundations and religious bodies?

The point raised here is “What can a document provider do”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. Keep a certified standard bundle as a template to shorten the next round. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. Project reports and budgets should keep their headings and budget codes aligned with the original. NGOs usually file with both Thai authorities and overseas funders, and the two ask for different document sets. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. The terms that frame this page are document · provider · foundations · religious. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Before starting, make sure document numbers, issue dates and issuing-office names match across the set, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. ILC handles documents only: translation, certified translation, coordinating a notarial services attorney and running certification at the Department of Consular Affairs and embassies. It does not register foundations, associations or temples, is not a law firm or an audit firm, gives no ruling on tax privileges, and guarantees no decision by any registrar, religious authority, funder or foreign body. A charity or religious-body 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. Foundations are governed by sections 110 to 136 of the Civil and Commercial Code. Section 110 defines a foundation as property specifically appropriated to a public charitable, religious, artistic, scientific, literary, educational or other public-benefit purpose, without any aim of sharing profit, and it becomes a juristic person only on registration. The instrument of establishment, the committee list and the registrar's certificate are therefore the core set that foreign funders ask to see. 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.
