Certificate of incorporation translation 

A certified certificate of incorporation translation is an official translation of the certificate Companies House issues when a company is formed, showing the company name, its registered number and the date of incorporation, accompanied by a signed statement confirming the translation is true and accurate. At Absolute Translations we translate and certify certificates of incorporation for use with overseas company registries, banks, notaries and courts, as well as UK authorities where a translation is needed. Prices start from £29 for a standard document or first page, including the translation, the certification and VAT, and because the certificate is short, many can be certified the same day.

Certified translation with signed statement and official company stamp

What’s included in your certified translation 

Every certified certificate of incorporation translation includes the translation itself and a signed, dated statement confirming it is a true and accurate translation, carrying our name and contact details, together with our official company stamp on our letterhead. That signed statement, not the stamp alone, is what UK authorities look for. We are an established UK translation company, the first in the UK to achieve ISO 17100, with over twenty years of experience translating official and legal documents. You receive a copy by email, and we can also send a posted certified copy where the receiving authority does not accept a digital certification. Every document is handled securely and in line with GDPR. 

Money-back guarantee on certificates of incorporation translations accepted by UK authorities and international organisations.

Proving your company’s legal existence, guaranteed accepted 

Our certified certificate of incorporation translations are produced to be accepted by the overseas bodies that ask for them and by UK authorities. Businesses rely on us when setting up a subsidiary or branch abroad, opening an overseas bank account, signing international contracts or registering for tax in another country, each of which needs proof that the company legally exists. Tell us which country and body will receive the translation and we recommend and set the right level of certification, and where the destination requires it we can arrange an apostille or consular legalisation. We back that recommendation with a money-back guarantee: if the receiving body does not accept the option we recommend, we will put it right at no cost or refund you in full, provided we have its decision in writing.

Company name, number and legal form rendered exactly

A certificate of incorporation is the primary proof that a company legally exists, so a foreign bank or registry checks the registered company name, the company number and the incorporation date closely. We reproduce all three exactly and, where the company name contains a legal-form suffix such as Ltd or PLC, or characters that do not exist in the target language, we add a short translator’s note explaining the equivalent, so the receiving body is in no doubt which entity the certificate refers to.

Legalisation for the destination country 

A certificate of incorporation is almost always used abroad, so the destination country usually needs the translation legalised as well as certified. Where the country is in the Hague Convention we can arrange an apostille, from £85, which covers the FCDO legalisation fee and secure courier; for other countries we can arrange consular legalisation through the relevant embassy. Tell us the destination and we confirm the correct order of certification, translation and legalisation before we begin. 

What a certified certificate of incorporation translation costs

Certified certificate of incorporation translation starts from £29 for a standard document or first page, including the translation, the certification and VAT; additional pages, where needed, are from £26 for most languages. Because the certificate is short, most orders sit at the base price. If notarisation is required, our in-house notary usually completes this the same day; an apostille, from £85, legalises the document for use in another Hague Convention country. Your exact price depends on the language pair, the number of pages and the level of certification. Upload your certificate of incorporation for a fixed quote, or see our certified translation prices for a full breakdown. 

How fast can you get it?

Most certified certificate of incorporation translations are ready within one to two working days, and because the certificate is short, same-day certification is available on request. We offer both a standard and an express service; the turnaround reflects the length of the document, the language pair and the level of certification. When you upload your certificate, tell us your deadline and we will confirm a delivery date before you order.
