Why You Need Certified Translation for Companies House Documents

Companies House is an executive agency that registers and files companies who operate in the United Kingdom. For overseas companies, you must register with Companies House if you’re looking to set up a physical store or location within the UK to carry out business. During your registration to Companies House, you will need to fill out and attach a wide variety of documentation. This includes filling out a OS IN01 form, sending a certified copy of your company’s constitutional documents and a copy of your latest set of accounts.

You may be thinking that you can easily translate these documents using Google Translate. However, this is not the case!
