What are statutes?

Statutes set out the rules and structure of a legal person. They form part of the deed of incorporation drawn up and executed by a notary. The company is then registered with these details at the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). Because statutes have a notarial basis, an accurate and legal correct translation is important.

Why a sworn translation of your statutes?

A sworn translation is produced by a translator registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator provides the translation with a stamp, a signature and a statement that the translation matches the source document. This makes the translation legally valid and accepted by official authorities. For use abroad, an apostille is needed. An apostille is issued by the court under the Apostille Convention (the Hague Convention of 1961).
