May filing and the year-end settlement
A Korean resident with global income (종합소득), such as business, rental or freelance income, files a final return (종합소득세 확정신고) between 1 May and 31 May of the following year, or by 30 June for filers who must submit a certified faithful-filing confirmation. Most file electronically through the National Tax Service's Hometax website or its Sontax mobile app, and the return and its filing receipt can be printed from there.
Employees whose only income is wages usually do not file in May. The employer settles their tax at the year-end settlement (연말정산) and gives them a withholding receipt for wage income (근로소득 원천징수영수증). For a US reviewer, the return, the withholding receipt and the certificates described below are the usual documents, and each is translated in full, with every stamp.
The certificate of income amount, in Korean or English
A document US reviewers often ask for is the certificate of income amount (소득금액증명), issued by the National Tax Service through Hometax and Sontax, at a tax office, or through Gov24. It shows the income amounts on record for each year requested. The NTS issues it in Korean or in English (not for corporations); the English version is applied for with your passport.
If you already hold the English certificate, it is an official English document and may need no translation at all, so check what the receiving office will take before you order one. The Korean certificate, the return itself and the withholding receipts do need one. Each NTS certificate carries an issuance number that can be checked on the NTS website, and we copy that number exactly.
Business owners and US filings
Owners of a Korean company usually need its records too: financial statements and audit report, corporate tax filings, the registry extract and the articles of incorporation. For an EB-5 petition, 8 CFR 204.6(j)(3) asks for corporate, partnership and personal tax returns of any kind filed within five years, in or outside the United States, so a file often covers several years and both the owner and the company.
The same records support E-2 and L-1 files and the income checks of US banks and mortgage lenders. Amounts stay in won exactly as printed: we do not convert them or calculate any US tax. Resident registration numbers, dates and amounts are copied exactly as printed. See also tax documents, Korean bank statements, bank statements and our Korean page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Hometax offers my income certificate in English. Do I still need you?
Maybe not. The English certificate is an official NTS document. Check with the receiving office; we translate the Korean version if needed.
I am an employee and never filed a return.
Your employer settled your tax at year end. The withholding receipt and the income certificate are the usual proof.
My certificate has an issuance number at the top.
That number lets anyone check the certificate on the NTS site. We copy it exactly in the translation.
Can you show the amounts in dollars?
No. The figures stay in won as printed. A conversion is done separately, if a reviewer asks for one.
