We translate UK Certificates of Incorporation -- issued by Companies House -- from English into Spanish, Italian, French or German. This is often required when a UK company wishes to operate, register or conduct business in Spain, Italy, France or Germany.
Requirements vary between countries and receiving authorities. We recommend confirming exactly what is required with the specific authority before ordering.
A Certificate of Incorporation is the official document issued by Companies House when a company is registered in the UK. It confirms the company's legal name, company registration number, and the date on which it was incorporated.
It is the foundational document that proves a UK company exists as a legal entity.
Some overseas authorities ask for a Certificate of Incorporation and a Certificate of Good Standing together. The Certificate of Good Standing confirms that a company is active, not dissolved, and up to date with its filing obligations at Companies House.
We can translate both documents. See our Certificate of Good Standing page for more information.
Requirements vary between countries and between authorities within the same country. This page reflects what is often -- but not always -- required. Always confirm exact requirements with the specific authority or institution before ordering.
Your Certificate of Incorporation is issued by Companies House at the time of company registration. If you need a replacement copy, this can be obtained directly from Companies House.
Some authorities require a recent certified copy of the certificate rather than the original. Check with the receiving authority whether a copy is acceptable before ordering your translation.
An apostille may also be required on the original certificate in addition to a sworn translation. Our parent service, 1Apostille.org.uk, can arrange this if needed -- confirm requirements with the receiving authority first.
If you also need a translation of a Certificate of Good Standing, we can handle both documents in the same order.
Select the country your document will be used in for specific information about what is often required in that country.
