FAQs about the English enterprise registration certificate

The following are frequently asked questions about the English enterprise registration certificate.

1. My English is good, so can I translate my enterprise registration certificate?

You can translate your enterprise registration certificate yourself if you have good English skills as well as enough translation skills. In general, the content of the business registration certificate is relatively short and contains the same basic information, allowing you to completely translate it yourself.

However, the self-translated English business registration certificate can only be used for personal purposes and lacks the legality required to carry out administrative procedures because the translation cannot be notarized or certified. According to the Notary Law 2014, translations should be translated by competent translation collaborators to certify them. Individual translations are often rejected for failing to guarantee high accuracy.

2. Because there aren’t many registration documents, how much does it cost to translate enterprise registration certificates?

The cost of translating an enterprise registration certificate into English may vary depending on the length of the document, the time required, and the notary fee (if applicable). Therefore, contact Tomato Media directly to get the most accurate quote. We are committed to offering the most competitive translation fee in the market, commensurate with the quality of the translation you receive.

3. Does an English enterprise registration certificate need a notary seal? And where can I get a notarized translation?

You can do regular translations for personal use, archive documents, or notarize translations to increase the legality of documents and serve administrative functions. Here are 3 units specializing in notarized translation of business registration certificates:

• Translation companies: in addition to translating, translation companies can also notarize the translation if there is a need. These units have professional and experienced staff, so they can help you optimize the time and cost of notarized translation.
• Private notary offices: these units also receive translation through collaborators. However, the quality control of translations by collaborators can be difficult, so the choice of translation in private notary offices is not appreciated.
• The Notary Office of the District Department of Justice: the office’s primary function is the notarization of documents and papers. The unit also receives translations through translation collaborators like the private notary office.

4. Is the original required for the notarization of the English enterprise registration certificate?

In the process of the notarized English translation of the enterprise registration certificate, the translation unit may not require the original but only the scan to translate. However, when applying for a notary seal, the original is a must for verification. To save time, you can send a scan of the certificate of business registration to carry out the translation in advance while waiting for the original to arrive and applying for the notary seal.

5. Is it fast to translate enterprise registration documents into English?

The enterprise registration certificate is a short document, so the translation process can be done quickly. You can even get it right on the day if the translation unit of your choice is able to meet the requirement. However, if you have an additional need for a notarized translation, a waiting time of 1-3 days or longer will be required in the event you need a judicial notarized translation.
