The company contract and the certificate of incorporation
Iraqi companies are formed under the Companies Law No. 21 of 1997, as amended. The founders sign a company contract (عقد الشركة) giving the name and type, a head office in Iraq, the purpose, and the founders' names, nationalities, occupations and addresses; a sole founder files a statement instead. The Registrar of Companies (مسجل الشركات), whose decisions can be appealed to the Minister of Trade, examines the application and issues the certificate of incorporation (شهادة تأسيس الشركة).
The company acquires legal personality from the date of that certificate, so the date printed on it matters. For a joint-stock company the certificate is issued only after the public offering of shares. We translate the contract and the certificate as separate documents, with the registration number, the date and every stamp, and give the company name as printed, with a transliteration where useful.
Company types
The law recognises joint-stock companies (مساهمة) with at least five founders; limited liability companies (محدودة) with up to 25 members, which may also have a single owner; partnerships (تضامنية) of 2 to 25 partners; sole proprietorships (مشروع فردي); and simple companies (بسيطة). Mixed companies with state participation are joint-stock or limited. We translate the type with its usual English equivalent and keep the Arabic term.
In the US these documents support an intracompany transfer petition, a business bank account, a contract or a tax filing. Founders and managers are named with their name chains, which we translate in order and spell as in their passports. Capital is given in the currency printed. See the general articles of incorporation translation page, the Iraqi power of attorney page and our Arabic page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Is the company contract the same as articles of incorporation?
It is the closest Iraqi equivalent. We translate it as company contract and can add a note.
What does mahduda mean?
It is a limited liability company. We translate the type and keep the Arabic term.
Do I need both the contract and the certificate?
Often yes: the contract sets out the company, the certificate proves it was registered.
