Memorandum and articles translation

A certified memorandum and articles of association translation is an official translation of your company’s constitutional documents, the memorandum and the articles that set out how the company is owned and run, accompanied by a signed statement confirming the translation is true and accurate. At Absolute Translations we translate and certify memorandum and articles for use with overseas company registries, banks, notaries, investors and courts, as well as UK authorities where a translation is needed. Prices start from £29 for a standard document or first page, and because these documents run to several pages, we quote against the exact length before you order.

Certificates of memorandum translation with signed statement and official company stamp

What’s included in your certified translation

Every certified memorandum and articles of association 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.

Accepted by the bodies that request it, guaranteed

Our certified memorandum and articles translations are produced to be accepted by the overseas bodies that ask for them and by UK authorities. Companies rely on us when registering a subsidiary abroad, opening corporate bank accounts, raising investment, completing a merger or acquisition or defending a legal matter in another jurisdiction, all of which require the company’s constitution in the local language. 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, backed by our money-back guarantee.

The memorandum and articles are legal documents, so the value is in translating the constitutional detail exactly, share classes and rights, directors’ powers, quorum and voting rules, transfer restrictions and pre-emption clauses. A loose translation of a single clause can change its legal meaning, so we use translators experienced in company and corporate law and keep defined terms consistent throughout the document, matching the terminology to any related company documents in the same bundle.

Multi-page documents and legalisation, handled together

Memorandum and articles usually run to several pages and often travel with the certificate of incorporation and certificate of good standing, so we translate the set together, keep the formatting and cross-references clear, and where the destination requires it arrange an apostille, from £85, or consular legalisation. Tell us the destination country and the full set of documents and we confirm the length, the price and the correct order of certification and legalisation before we begin.

Certified memorandum and articles translation starts from £29, and because these documents run to several pages, we price against the exact length, with additional pages from £26 for most languages. 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 documents for a fixed quote, or see our certified translation prices for a full breakdown.

Turnaround for certified memorandum and articles translation depends on the length, as these documents usually run to several pages, but many are ready within a few working days, with an express service available. We confirm a delivery date against the exact page count before you order. When you upload the documents, tell us your deadline and whether other company documents are being translated alongside them.

Yes. Our certified translations are produced to be accepted by the overseas registries, banks, notaries, investors and courts that request a company's constitution, each carrying our signed certification statement and official company stamp. Where the destination requires it, we can also arrange an apostille or consular legalisation, backed by our money-back guarantee.

A loose translation of one clause can change its legal meaning, which we take care to avoid.

Yes, and it is usually better to. The memorandum and articles often travel with the certificate of incorporation and certificate of good standing, so we translate the set together, keep the company name, number and terminology identical across every document, and arrange any apostille or legalisation the destination requires in the correct order.
