Certified Korean articles of incorporation translation for USCIS.

Articles of incorporations issued by Korean-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US uscis filings. Articles of incorporation — and the closely-related commercial registry extracts, عقد التأسيس, شرکت‌نامه, ticaret sicil gazetesi — establish a company's legal existence. Verdacert translates them for E-2 treaty-investor and L-1A intracompany-transferee petitions, EB-5 regional-center cases, and consular-processing evidence of business ownership. We also produce updated commercial-registry extracts as add-on translations when the underlying articles haven't changed.

Korean is the official language of both South Korea and North Korea, with the South Korean documentary system providing the vast majority of certified-translation source material for US filings. Verdacert translates South Korean family relation certificates (가족관계증명서), basic certificates (기본증명서), academic transcripts, and military service records for US immigration, university, and credential-evaluation filings. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Standard Korean (Seoul), North Korean standard (Pyongyang), with country-specific document conventions from South Korea, North Korea.

South Korean civil status is recorded in the family relation registry (가족관계등록부), which produces four certificate types — basic, family relation, marriage, and adoption — each with full and abridged versions carrying different evidentiary scope. Verdacert recommends and translates the full-version certificates (상세증명서) for USCIS filings because they preserve historical changes USCIS adjudicators may need. Korean is written in the Hangul alphabet, sometimes with Hanja (Chinese-character) annotations for legal precision; both are transcribed. Names are romanized following the holder's preferred spelling (existing passport or US documents) rather than the latest Revised Romanization standard.

USCIS requires that any non-English document submitted in support of an immigration petition be accompanied by a full English translation, plus a signed statement from a competent translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. Verdacert's certification statement is drafted to meet this requirement exactly. The applicable standard is 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3).

For articles of incorporation translations specifically, our reviewers focus on capital denomination in local currency with subsequent share-value changes and translations of business-purpose statements written in flowery legal phrasing, among other patterns. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
