Distinguish individual and corporate shareholders
Documents for an individual foreign shareholder may differ from those for a foreign company becoming a shareholder. The Invest in Türkiye guide explains this distinction and different document types. Obtain the current list for your file from your accountant, lawyer or relevant trade registry office. We define the translation scope from that list and the requirements you provide for your particular project.
Put the document set in one list
Identify which passports, certificates of activity, corporate resolutions or powers of attorney have been requested. Record the issuing country, language and current version of each one. Keep the files of different shareholders and representatives distinct. If only part of a document needs translation, identify the relevant pages. We should also agree whether attachments and certification pages form part of the scope.
- Document and related person or company
- Issuing country and source language
- Source version and date
- Attachments included for translation
Keep company names and representation details consistent
Company names, registration numbers, addresses and people’s roles may recur across the file. Provide the verified company name and any established translation preferences. We may request clarification where an abbreviation or representative capacity is unclear. Questions should be referred to your file coordinator rather than resolved by guessing. This provides a clearer basis for consistent translation across all the documents.
Confirm the certification sequence with your adviser
The issuing and receiving countries can affect certification requirements. Ask the responsible adviser or authority which apostille, consular procedure, sworn translation or notarisation is needed and in what order. We can plan the translation around those confirmed requirements. Do not assume that every document needs identical treatment or that one certification step automatically satisfies the requirements for the whole file.
Provide legible, current files
A scan missing seals, signatures, reverse sides or attachments may prevent us from seeing all the text. Supply legible copies and editable sources where appropriate. Explain any need for originals or physical copies at the start. You can begin without uploading confidential resolutions or personal documents, then agree file sharing and access arrangements before providing the material required for assessment.
Separate the translation quote from company formation
Include the file list, languages, preferred delivery date and coordinating contact in your enquiry. The quote can distinguish translation, checks, layout and any agreed additional tasks. Completing company formation, trade-registry submissions and financial advice are not part of this translation service. Plan the official formation procedures with your authorised adviser and the translation schedule with us.
