Which documents to translate?

  • Articles of association and shareholders' agreement.
  • Notarial deeds of incorporation or transfer.
  • Identity documents and supporting documents of the directors and shareholders.
  • Register extracts and certificates of an existing company abroad.
  • Banking and accounting documents depending on the legal form.

Good to know: ask your notary or adviser for the exact list of documents and the target language. Also check whether an apostille or a legalisation is necessary before the translation.

Legal and financial terminology

Articles of association, deeds and accounting documents contain precise terminology. An approximate translation can block a registration or create a legal ambiguity. Using a specialised sworn translator secures the consistency of the terms and the validity of the file.

How to proceed

  1. List the documents with your notary or your adviser.
  2. Check the apostille or the legalisation of the foreign documents.
  3. Entrust the sworn translation to a specialised translator.
  4. Submit a complete and consistent file to the authorities.
