Definition
核发 is a formal verb used in administrative and bureaucratic contexts meaning 'to examine and then issue (a document, license, certificate, etc.)'. It combines 核 ('to check/verify') and 发 ('to issue'), so the concept is that approval follows a verification step. You'll see it in official notices, government forms, and news about permits or certifications.
