The paper should not automatically be treated as a modern certificate of current status. Before the unified Commercial Register, company particulars were kept in court files and the technical registry environment was maintained by Information Services AD. An older certificate may therefore show a court, company-file number, technical issuer and capital information together.
What does this certificate confirm?
Its actual wording is decisive. It may identify the company and legal form, court and file, registered capital and currency, shares or ownership interests, nominal value, decisions and the date of the statement. Translation reproduces what is recorded and does not add ownership, payment or current-status conclusions that the source does not contain.
Why is Information Services AD retained in the translation?
The name identifies the origin of this historical record and is not replaced by the name of today’s register. Where a court, registry unit or officer also appears, their roles remain separate. This helps the foreign recipient understand who produced the certificate and where the registered information came from.
Does registered capital prove that the amount was paid?
Not by itself. Registered capital, subscribed interests, nominal value and money actually contributed are distinct facts. Payment or present ownership is established only when the certificate expressly says so. Figures, currencies, percentages and dates are copied accurately without extending the evidential meaning of the old record.
Can the older certificate still be used today?
The receiving authority decides. An archival certificate may be required for a past period, litigation or a transaction linked to the former court register. A different case may call for a recent extract or certificate from the current Commercial Register. Intended use should therefore be checked before translation or authentication begins.
What must be visible in the supplied copy?
Customers send every page, reverse side, attachment and visible certification. The title, company name, court, file number, capital, interests or shares, decisions, dates, signatures and seals must be legible. Faded, damaged or missing wording is marked according to the source and is never reconstructed by guesswork.
Are notarization and an Apostille always required?
No single route applies to every historical company certificate. The original or copy type, signature, available authentication, destination country and recipient instructions all matter. The review first establishes whether translation alone is accepted, whether an official copy is needed and which further certification can lawfully apply.
How are price and timing determined?
The quotation reflects the language pair, volume, legibility, tables, number of corporate decisions, required certifications, copies and delivery. A short archival statement and a file containing several capital changes involve different work. Timing is confirmed only after the complete material and any institutional stages have been reviewed.
How do I place an order?
Customers send a readable copy and state the country, receiving institution and purpose. La Fit Trans checks the registry context and company data, prepares an accurate translation with editorial review and, where appropriate, coordinates certification, paper copies and delivery. You receive a clear scope, price and timing before work starts.
