Everything You Need to Know About Chamber of Commerce and Company Incorporation Interpreting
Interpreting support can be arranged for foreign shareholders during document reviews, discussions concerning the articles of association and document signing, as well as appointments at notary offices, the Trade Registry and, where necessary, banks. Document translation and interpreting during appointments are separate services. The stages requiring an interpreter are clarified before the quotation is prepared, based on the type of transaction, the shareholder’s language, representation arrangements and the requirements of the relevant authority.
The requirement depends on the type of transaction and the individual’s proficiency in Turkish. For signature declaration procedures involving foreign nationals, ATSO requires the presence of a sworn interpreter and the submission of the original interpreter’s record. If the founder or representative does not understand Turkish, the company’s articles of association are signed before a notary. Before the appointment, the interpreter documentation and attendance requirements applicable to the relevant procedure are confirmed.
Depending on the nature of the application, passports, identity documents, powers of attorney, certificates of activity, registry extracts, and resolutions concerning shareholding or the appointment of representatives may require translation. For foreign individual shareholders, passports are particularly relevant, while for foreign corporate shareholders, documents confirming the company’s legal existence and the authority of its representatives are especially important. Translation, notarisation and other certification requirements are clarified based on the current ATSO document requirements and the submitted application documents.
Yes. For individual shareholders, identity and representation documents are reviewed. For corporate shareholders, the company’s registration details, operational status, participation resolutions and authority to represent the company are also assessed. Consequently, the number of documents requiring translation and the certification procedures may vary. Once the shareholding structure, company type and countries of issuance of the documents have been provided, appropriate translation and appointment arrangements are prepared for the application.
Where an authorised representative acts on behalf of a founder, an appropriate power of attorney covering the necessary representation and signing powers is required. Translation and legalisation requirements for powers of attorney issued abroad are also reviewed separately. The adequacy of the power of attorney for the relevant incorporation procedure is confirmed with the notary and Trade Registry. Document translation and, where necessary, interpreting services are then arranged accordingly.
If a party involved in a notarial procedure does not understand Turkish, the need for a sworn interpreter is assessed with the notary in advance. A notarised translation of a written document is a separate service from the interpreting assistance required during document signing. The notary’s requirements regarding interpreter eligibility, documentation and appointment arrangements are confirmed so that both services can be organised together or separately.
Subject to the bank’s requirements for interpreter participation, interpreting support may be arranged for account opening, Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and document-signing appointments. The purpose of the meeting, bank branch, language pair and appointment time should be provided in advance. The bank’s identity verification, representation and documentation requirements are confirmed separately. The interpreter facilitates communication, while account opening and the assessment of the application remain subject to the bank’s own procedures.
Authentication requirements for documents issued abroad vary depending on the country of issuance, document type and intended transaction. Documents such as certificates of activity, company registry extracts and powers of attorney may require an apostille or consular legalisation, together with a notarised translation. Existing certifications and copies of the documents are reviewed to clarify the sequence of authentication procedures accepted by the relevant authority before proceeding.
As part of our translation and interpreting services, we can coordinate document delivery and interpreting arrangements for appointments at notary offices, the Trade Registry and banks. Appointment availability, the parties’ schedules and document readiness are assessed. Interpreter assignments and meeting arrangements are confirmed in accordance with the transaction schedule agreed with your accountant or legal adviser. Appointments with the relevant institutions are confirmed separately.
Pricing and processing times are assessed based on the language pair, number and volume of documents, type of certification, interpreting duration, number of procedures and locations involved. The document delivery schedule and interpreter assignments are specified separately during the quotation process. Notarial fees and official charges are itemised separately from the service fee. As institutional review and appointment schedules may affect the overall company incorporation timeline, planning is carried out based on the details of the application.
