The estatuto and the Inspección General de Justicia
An Argentine company is constituted by estatuto for an SA or contrato social for an SRL, and registered with the Inspección General de Justicia in the City of Buenos Aires or the equivalent provincial registry elsewhere. The registering body named on the document is therefore local, and two Argentine companies may be registered by different authorities.
Publication in the Boletín Oficial is part of the formation process for some forms, and the published notice is its own document with its own date.
SA, SRL and the SAS
The sociedad anónima and the sociedad de responsabilidad limitada are the traditional forms, and the SAS — sociedad por acciones simplificada — was introduced to allow fast electronic formation with a standard statute. Its treatment has changed with successive administrations, which is why documents from different years look different.
None of them is a US form. An SRL divides capital into cuotas rather than shares, which changes how ownership transfers and what a foreign buyer is actually acquiring.
The legalisation chain
An Argentine corporate document reaching a foreign institution normally travels under a chain of authentications — the registry, then a notarial certification, then the Colegio de Escribanos, then an apostille. Each step adds a stamp or a page, and all of them are part of the packet.
All of it is translated, because a reader checking authenticity is reading the chain rather than the instrument. See apostilles and translation for why the order matters.
CUIT, and the two surnames
The CUIT is the tax identification for companies and individuals alike and appears across Argentine corporate documents; it is reproduced exactly and is what a counterparty uses to verify independently.
Both surnames of any named director or shareholder are carried across in the order given. See our Argentine birth certificate page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Every seal, stamp, notarial recital and registry annotation is translated — a corporate document with its endorsements missing is not a complete document. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
Frequently asked questions
Which registry registered my company?
The IGJ in the City of Buenos Aires, or the equivalent provincial registry elsewhere. We name the one on your document.
Is an SRL an LLC?
No. It divides capital into cuotas rather than shares, which changes how ownership transfers.
Do you translate the legalisation chain?
All of it. A reader checking authenticity is reading the chain rather than the instrument.
Is the CUIT translated?
Reproduced exactly. It is how the company is verified.
