What does a certified translation of a company’s articles of association involve?

A certified translation of company articles of association is the official translation of the documents governing a company’s structure and internal operations, signed and stamped by an authorised translator. The articles of association set out the company’s name, its corporate purpose, its share capital, its registered office, its governing bodies, and the rights and obligations of its shareholders.

Its legal validity is crucial in international transactions, submissions to foreign authorities, the admission of new members and amendments to the articles of association. Certification by a sworn translator ensures that the authorities and bodies in each jurisdiction accept the articles of association as authentic.

In articles of association, legal terminological accuracy is crucial: the articles themselves, the rules governing the general meeting and the board of directors, voting majorities, the rules governing the transfer of shares, and any special clauses must be translated accurately so that they have the same legal effect in the target country. To provide an accurate quote, we need to see the full articles of association, the languages involved, the target country or organisation, and your deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sworn translations of company articles of association: frequently asked questions

Why do I need a certified translation of my company’s articles of association?
This is because the articles of association are the legal document that sets out the framework for the company’s operations, and when you need to submit them in an international context (to partners, authorities or registries in another country), they must be officially valid. A certified translation guarantees their authenticity and accuracy in any jurisdiction.
What is the difference between a certified translation and a standard translation of articles of association?
The difference lies in the official certification. A qualified sworn translator certifies the accuracy of the translation with their signature and stamp, which makes it legally recognised. A standard translation does not have this certification and is not accepted by the authorities or registries.
What information do I need to provide in order to have my company’s articles of association translated?
We need the full articles of association in the original language (including any amendments, if applicable), the country or body for which they are intended, and any specific formatting or certification requirements that have been specified to you. With this information, we will prepare a competitive quote for you.
How long does it take to produce a certified translation of a set of articles of association?
It depends on the language, the length of the text and the legal complexity. If you have a deadline, please let us know when requesting a quote: we’ll do our best to meet it without compromising on quality, and we’ll consider an express service where feasible.
Can the delivery be digital or does it have to be on paper?
It depends on the requirements of the receiving organisation. Some accept digital copies, whilst others require the original hard copy bearing the sworn translator’s signature and stamp. We will confirm this with you before issuing the final version to avoid the need for corrections.
Do you translate the articles of association into any language?
Yes. We work with all languages and adapt legal terminology to the legal system of the target country. English, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Chinese and any other language combination you may need for your international expansion.
