Statuts and the RCCM

Ivorian companies are formed under OHADA uniform business law and registered through the investment promotion centre's one-stop shop (CEPICI). The founding document is the articles of association (statuts), signed by the partners and sometimes prepared by a notary, which set out the company's form (such as SARL or SA), name, registered office, purpose, capital and management. Branches and representative offices of foreign companies are registered through the same one-stop shop.

Registration in the trade and personal property credit register (Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier, RCCM) gives the company its number; in Abidjan, RCCM numbers begin with CI-ABJ. The extract from the register (extrait RCCM) is the usual proof that a company exists. We translate the statuts, the RCCM extract and their stamps in full. See our French page.

Amendments, resolutions and US uses

Changes of capital, name, managers or registered office are made by a partners' resolution (procès-verbal) and then noted in the register. For a US bank, an L-1 or E-2 visa file or a business transaction, an office usually wants the current statuts, a recent RCCM extract and the resolution appointing the person who signs. Older extracts may not show recent changes, so order a new one.

We translate company names as printed, without inventing an English name, and keep every registration number. Capital amounts stay in FCFA as printed, and tax and other identifiers are copied exactly. If the company has a branch abroad, its documents are translated as well. For bylaws-type internal rules, see our bylaws translation page; for someone signing on the company's behalf, see the power of attorney page and the bank statement 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.
