The Proof of Professional Standing
A Certificate of Operation (Faaliyet Belgesi or İşletme Belgesi) is the official document that confirms a company is legally registered, currently active, and authorized to perform specific business activities within its sector. It is the primary credential required for bank account openings, public and private tenders, visa applications for business owners, and international partnership agreements.
In a globalized economy, this certificate acts as your “corporate passport.” A mistranslation of your “Field of Activity” or an error in the “Validity Period” can lead to the immediate rejection of a contract or a delay in critical international transactions. Precision in corporate law and administrative terminology is paramount.

Technical Precision and Institutional Alignment: Our Process
Translating a Certificate of Operation requires more than just language fluency; it requires an understanding of how chambers of commerce and ministries operate. Our process ensures your document is compliant with international standards:
Corporate & Legal Specialists: Your document is handled by a Sworn Translator who specializes in commercial law. They ensure that your specific business sectors (e.g., “NACE Codes”) and legal statuses (e.g., “Joint Stock Company”) are rendered using their exact international equivalents.
ISO 17100:2015 Quality Standards:
- Field of Activity Audit: We meticulously translate the “Scope of Work” to ensure that your technical capabilities are correctly understood by foreign partners and government agencies.
- Data Verification: Every date, registration number, and address is cross-checked multiple times to ensure the translation is a perfect mirror of the original.
Visual Integrity: Certificates of operation often include barcodes, digital verification codes, and official stamps. We maintain the original layout, ensuring all security features and endorsements are clearly identified and translated.
Certified & Sworn Translation: We provide the official “Sworn Translation” status required by consulates, international banks, and foreign government registries.
