Corporate document legalization
Translation, notarisation and legalization of business licences, articles, board resolutions and good-standing certificates for overseas set-ups, tenders and investment into China.
Chinese companies opening subsidiaries, bank accounts, bidding on tenders or registering products abroad need legalized business licences, articles and authorisations.
Foreign companies setting up in China, changing registration details or going to court need their corporate documents notarised at home, apostilled or legalized, and translated into Chinese for market regulators, courts or banks.
We work in both directions and use ABC Translation offices abroad to coordinate local notarisation and legalization.

Frequently asked questions
What does a foreign company need to register in China?
Usually the investor's certificate of incorporation or good standing and authorisations, notarised and apostilled or legalized, with a Chinese translation. The local market regulator has the final say.
Can you legalize for several countries at once?
Yes. We can process one set of company documents for several destination countries in parallel.
