Certified Meeting Minutes Translation from $14.90 per Page

Foreign minutes translated into English:

1. U.S. banks: Banks often ask for translated board minutes or resolutions that appoint officers or authorize signatories before opening or updating a company account.
2. USCIS: Intracompany transfer and multinational manager petitions, such as L-1 and EB-1C, rely on corporate records that show the relationship between the U.S. and foreign companies. USCIS requires a certified English translation of any record that is not in English.
3. Auditors and due diligence: Auditors, investors and acquirers review minutes from foreign subsidiaries and targets.
4. Courts and attorneys: Minutes and resolutions are common evidence in shareholder disputes and corporate litigation.

U.S. minutes translated into another language:

1. Foreign commercial registries: Registering a branch or subsidiary abroad, appointing local directors or opening a foreign bank account often requires translated board resolutions. Many countries require an apostille and, in some cases, a locally sworn translator, so check the local requirements first.
2. Associations and community organizations: Homeowner associations, nonprofits and community groups translate minutes for members who speak other languages.

What a Certified Minutes Translation Includes

• A full translation of the minutes or resolution, including the attendance list, quorum, agenda, resolutions, voting results, signatures, notarial certifications and seals.
• A signed certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate, and that it was prepared by a translator competent to translate between the two languages.

Every Translations Certified meeting minutes translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and notarization at no extra cost.

Common Meeting Minutes Translation Problems

• Corporate titles without a U.S. equivalent. Roles such as sole administrator or board secretary don’t always match U.S. titles. A certified translation renders them faithfully, and your attorney explains how they apply.
• Notarial certifications and registry stamps left out. In many countries, minutes are notarized or recorded with a commercial registry. Those certifications and stamps are part of the document and must be translated.
• Attachments missing. Minutes often refer to attached financial statements, powers of attorney or share registers. If you submit them, they need to be translated too.
• Apostille added after the translation. For minutes going abroad, get the apostille first, so it is translated together with the document.
• Names and amounts that don’t match other records. A translation keeps names, share numbers and amounts exactly as they appear in the original.
