Opening a bank account:
The opening of a corporate bank account overseas, seemingly
a simple task, in fact requires considerable thought and preparation.
One of the obstacles that can easily be avoided is that of the
language barrier.
If the account is to be opened in a country where
the official language differs from that of your home country,
you may be required to provide a certified translation of one
of the following documents:
• Certified translation of a certificate of good standing.
• Certified translation of p ower of a ttorney.
• Certified translation of the company's certificate
of incorporation.
• Certified translation of the company's Articles of
Association.
• Certified translation of the company's Memorandum
of Incorporation.
• Certified translation of the passports, personal
identity cards or driving licences of authorised
persons.
• Certified translation of the company's Annual Report.
The foreign bank will often require that these
documents are certified/verified by a notary and/or legalised
by embassy or consular authentication or by an apostille affixed
as provided for under the Hague Convention.
We can assist you with the certification and legalisation of these
documents. We work closely with many notaries public.
