Company types and their articles

Under the Company Act, a company exists only once it is registered with the central competent authority, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (arts. 5 and 6). There are four types: the unlimited company, the limited company (有限公司), the unlimited company with limited liability shareholders, and the company limited by shares (股份有限公司). The company's name must state its type, which we translate literally.

The articles of incorporation (章程) must give at least the company name, its business, its location and the date the articles were adopted. A limited company's articles also list the shareholders and their contributions; a company limited by shares states its shares and the number and term of its directors and supervisors. We translate every article, including amendments and their dates.

Registration records and public data

Proof of a company's registration is the registration form issued by the authority, either the incorporation form (設立登記表) or the amendment form (變更登記表); Taiwan's land registration rules accept it as proof for companies. The authority publishes the name, business, address, directors and supervisors with their shareholdings, managers and capital on its website; articles are public only with the company's consent.

If the articles define an English company name, we use it; otherwise we translate the name and keep the Chinese beside it. Dates in Minguo years are followed by the Gregorian year. See the Taiwanese bank statement page and our Chinese page. Capital amounts stay in New Taiwan dollars, and directors' names follow their passport spellings when you give them to us.

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.
