BYLAWS TRANSLATION

Translating bylaws that are needed in another language is as important as translating any other official company document. Bylaws can best be described as the guidebook of a company, profit or nonprofit, private foundation or public charity. In it the governing rules by which that company, foundation or charity operates are written down and established. In case of a corporation, first the Articles of Incorporation must be registered, then the board of directors is formed, and one of its first tasks is to create the bylaws. Other businesses have similar rules and guidelines. For example: a partnership has a partnership agreement and a LLC has an operating agreement. The contents of these agreements are similar to bylaws.

SWORN OR CERTIFIED TRANSLATION

Bylaws should be translated by a certified or sworn translator. This way you can be 100% certain that the translation is a true rendering of the original document. The sworn translator will guarantee this by giving you an attestation with their signature and seal. You don’t have to worry that the contents of the bylaws are not conveyed correctly in the target language, whether it’s the information about the shareholders or the board of directors or the general provisions. Our official translation agency provides certified translators and sworn translators who have considerable knowledge of and experience in translating legal documents. They are native speakers of the target language, meaning they grew up in the country in question and often still live and work there. They have relevant and current knowledge of their field of expertise, and they keep up with any and all new developments. Of course, we also make sure that all your documents, legal or otherwise, are kept confidential at all times. Do you want a quote for a sworn translation of your bylaws or do you need more information?

FAQ

Your translation questions answered

What is a sworn translation?

A sworn translation is a translation carried out by a sworn translator. You will always receive the physical copy of the translation by post and the scanned document by e-mail. A sworn translator has taken an oath and is registered with the court as someone who is able to deliver truthful translations for a specific language pair. A sworn translation contains the stamp of the translator and his or her statement that the translation has been translated to the best of his/her ability and as truthfully as possible. You will need a sworn translation if a government agency or other official body requires a translation of an official document, such as your passport, driver’s license or diploma.


You will need a sworn translation for official documents that you have to show or submit to a government agency or other official body. If you are unsure whether or not a sworn translation is required, we advise you to check this with the authorities concerned. For use in the Netherlands, a sworn translation by a sworn translator registered in the Netherlands will be sufficient. For use abroad, you may also need an apostille or even legalisation at Foreign Affairs and the relevant embassy.


Strictly speaking, a sworn translation is not the same as a certified translation. A sworn translator is appointed in his or her personal capacity as a capable translator. By adding his or her stamp and statement to a translation, a translation is sworn. A certified translation means that the translation is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common. Are you not sure whether you need a sworn or a certified translation? Please feel free to contact us.


A certified translation is a translation that is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Unlike with a sworn translation, a certified translation is not necessarily carried out by someone who is authorised by a court or government to translate official documents in their personal capacity. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common.
