Company & Corporate Document Translation

Translations of overseas company records into English, and Australian corporate documents for use abroad.

What we translate

Every company registry issues its own records. A Chinese 营业执照, a Japanese 履歴事項全部証明書, a Korean 법인등기부등본, a German Handelsregisterauszug, a French extrait Kbis, an Italian visura camerale, a Spanish escritura de constitución and a Dutch Chamber of Commerce extract all show who a company is and who controls it, but in very different formats. We translate them into English, and translate Australian company extracts, constitutions and resolutions into other languages.

What makes these documents tricky

Corporate records depend on identifiers. Company names, legal forms such as GmbH, S.L. or 有限责任公司, registration numbers and unified social credit codes must stay recognisable so the translation can be matched against the registry. We keep the company name as registered and translate the legal form without forcing it into an Australian structure such as Pty Ltd. Registry extracts often list historical changes of directors, capital and address in dense tables, and the layout is kept so each entry can be traced to the original.

Who needs it

Requirements differ between regulators, banks and registries, so check with the body you are submitting to before you order.

Certified or professional translation?

Choose certified if the translation will be lodged with a regulator, a registry or a bank. It is translated and certified by a NAATI certified translator. Choose professional translation (non-certified) for internal review and business use, such as reading a potential partner's constitution before negotiations. Company certification by Language Masters Pty Ltd is available on request for added assurance of accuracy.

How it works

Upload a clear copy of each document, including any apostille or notarial certificate. Single certificates and short extracts in many languages are priced instantly. Constitutions, minute books, financial statements and multi-document sets receive a written quote by email. Your translation is delivered by email as a PDF.

Translation, not legal advice

We translate what your documents say. We do not advise on their legal effect, and we cannot confirm whether a particular court or agency will accept them. Please check requirements with the receiving body or your lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you translate the company name?

The registered name is kept as it appears on the record, so it can be matched with the registry. If the company uses an established English name, for example on an Australian registration, mention it in your enquiry.

Can you translate an Australian company extract into Chinese or another language?

Yes. Upload the extract, choose the target language, and it will be translated in full.

Our registry extract is many pages long. Can you translate only the current details?

Yes. Tell us which sections you need in your enquiry and we will quote for those. Check first that the body asking for it will take a partial translation.

Can you help us comply with overseas company rules?

No. We translate the documents; compliance advice should come from a lawyer or accountant.
