Applying for an overseas grant in the United States — what translation and certification is expected?

The matter being asked about is “Applying for an overseas grant in the United States”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The terms that frame this page are Applying · overseas · grant · United. The specifics here are purpose: Grant; destination: Us, 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 most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. What sets this case apart is the number of certified sets and the window in which they must be used. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. A representative's power of attorney should state its scope clearly so it is not read more narrowly than intended. Project reports and budgets should keep their headings and budget codes aligned with the original. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. 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. 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. 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. 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.
