Companies House Certified Translation

If you’re opening a branch of your business in another country, you are likely to need certified translations of your Companies House documents to register the company. Our team of specialist translators provides accurate translations of official documents, such as certificates of incorporation, articles of association, memorandum of understanding, certificates of good standing, and more. The overseas registry that you need to submit your documentation to may differ, but most countries require documents to be submitted in the local language and certified. For example, in Germany, businesses must be registered at both the Handelsregister (commercial register) and Gewerbe Ordnungsamt (local trade office) whereas in Spain the Business Register, or Registro Mercantil is the equivalent of Companies House in the UK. But wherever you’re planning to expand your business, we have local translators who know the legal technicalities required. Our specialist Companies House translators are experienced in working with document certification and familiar with the strict rules on how translations must be prepared and submitted. You can trust that the document you submit is an accurate and correctly formatted copy of your original.

Translations into English to submit to Companies House

Overseas companies opening a branch in the UK must register at Companies House, and are required to submit a certified English translation to accompany an original certified document in another language. If it’s your first branch in the UK, you will need to submit your company charter, statute, memorandum, and articles of association as certified translations, as well as a copy of your latest accounts, if you are required to submit accounts by law in your own country. Using a translator who specialises in certified translations gives you the peace of mind that you’re fulfilling these requirements. Our services also include certified translations for other authorities in the UK, such as HMRC. If you are developing land or property in the UK you will need to register for Corporation Tax with HMRC, and you must register to pay VAT if your sales into the UK from a foreign market go over the distance-selling threshold. You will also need certified translations of your company accounts when you file tax returns and company accounts with HMRC, a legal requirement if you have a branch in the UK as an overseas company.

Whatever official document you need to be translated, Absolute Translations have the expertise and experience to ensure it meets official requirements.
