Need tax or financial documents for a deal?

Banks, tax offices, and the other side of a deal all ask for the same thing: official records in a language they can read, with a translator's certificate they can rely on. For a foreigner buying property or moving money in Korea, one missing or mismatched document often delays the closing or the transfer.

What we handle

• Foreign real estate acquisition reporting under the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act
• Translator's certificates for income amount certificates, withholding tax receipts and local tax payment proofs
• Translation of financial capacity statements and bank balance certificates for fund transfers
• Translation and administrative advisory on real estate purchase and lease contracts
• Translation certification of business registration certificates, tax invoices and audit reports

How it works

1. Tell us the transaction and who will receive the documents — a bank, a tax office, a buyer or a landlord.
2. We check which documents need a translator's certificate, notarization or apostille for that recipient.
3. We translate and certify them, and prepare the reporting forms for the property purchase where one applies.

Common mistakes

• Treating the property acquisition report as optional — foreign buyers have reporting duties, and which one applies depends on how the purchase is funded and whether you are a resident
• Sending a bank balance certificate that is too old for the receiving bank
• Signing a lease or sale contract that was never translated for the foreign party
