Submitting grant application documents and funding agreements in Switzerland — how must it be translated and certified?

This question is specifically about “Submitting grant application documents and funding agreements in Switzerland”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. A representative's power of attorney should state its scope clearly so it is not read more narrowly than intended. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · grant · application · documents. The specifics here are document type: Grantdoc; destination: Ch, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Before starting, verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. The condition most often overlooked is that name spelling must match across every document in the set. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Project reports and budgets should keep their headings and budget codes aligned with the original. Documents for foreign staff tie into visa and work-permit work, so plan them together. 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. For organisations the documents most often signature-certified are committee powers of attorney, status letters signed by an officer, and statements supporting a grant application or an overseas bank account. Australian bodies — the Department of Home Affairs, the charities regulator, courts, banks and universities — require non-English documents to carry a translation certified by a NAATI-certified translator. The translation must show the translator's name, certification number, language direction and a statement of accuracy, and must cover every page including stamps and signatures on the original. A Thai non-profit document intended for use abroad normally starts with an extract 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. 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.
