The Proof of Corporate Existence
An Activity Certificate (Faaliyet Belgesi) is a fundamental document issued by Chambers of Commerce or Industry that confirms a company’s current legal status, its field of operation, and its registered address. Whether you are opening an international bank account, participating in a foreign government tender, or establishing a branch office abroad, this document serves as the primary evidence that your business is active and compliant.
In the world of international commerce, accuracy is paramount. A mistranslated “NACE Code,” an error in the “Registration Date,” or an ambiguous rendering of “Business Scope” can lead to the rejection of corporate applications or delays in critical trade agreements. Precision in Corporate Law, Trade Registry Standards, and Official Terminology is absolute.

Corporate Precision and Legal Validity: Our Process
Translating an activity certificate requires a deep understanding of trade registry systems (such as the Turkish MERSİS or Oda Kayıt systems). Our process ensures total reliability for your business:
Corporate & Trade Specialists: Your document is handled by a Sworn Translator who specializes in commercial law and international trade. They ensure that terms like “Authorized Capital,” “Signatory Authorities,” “Primary Activity,” and “Status of Standing” are rendered with 100% accuracy.
ISO 17100:2015 Quality Standards:
- Fact and Code Audit: We perform a meticulous verification of registration numbers, dates, and sector-specific NACE codes to ensure the translation perfectly mirrors the original record.
- Jurisdictional Alignment: We ensure that the terminology used aligns with the requirements of foreign trade registries and banks (e.g., Certificate of Incumbency or Certificate of Good Standing equivalents), facilitating smoother global operations.
Format Mirroring: We provide a “Mirrored Translation” of the certificate. We replicate the layout of the original Chamber of Commerce document, including the placement of QR codes, official seals, and signature blocks, allowing foreign officials to verify the data instantly.
Confidentiality: Activity certificates contain proprietary corporate information. We operate under strict privacy protocols and the KVKK (Data Protection Law) to ensure your company’s data remains secure.
