What the extract says and why it needs an oath
A good-standing extract comes from the Chamber of Commerce. It names the firm, its legal form, its file number and the people who may sign for it. A bank or a bid desk abroad cannot read that in Italian. So a certified translation of a Certificate of Good Standing in Italy is done by a court-sworn translator, who swears the words match.
The oath before the Tribunale
The oath has an Italian name, asseverazione. It is a short signed line stating that the new text says the same thing as the old one. A sworn translation of a Certificate of Good Standing in Catania is signed in front of a clerk at the Tribunale, the local court. The clerk writes the act into a register and stamps each sheet.
Get the extract right before you order
Pull a fresh print rather than a copy from an old folder. Read the firm name, the tax code and the share capital line while a fix is still cheap. An official translation of a Certificate of Good Standing in Catania mirrors what sits on the page. A slip in the source travels straight into the new text, so ask the Chamber for a new print.
Cost by the page, and how long it runs
The rate is about €30 per page. A short extract is cheap; one that lists many directors and many share moves runs to more sheets. So the translation cost for a Certificate of Good Standing in Catania tracks sheet count, not word count. Normal work takes 2–4 business days; when a tender shuts this week, the express lane closes in 24–48 hours.
Where firms send the sworn set
Banks ask for it when a Sicilian firm opens an account abroad. Bid desks want it inside the offer pack. Foreign registries want it when you set up a branch or move a director. A certified translation of a Certificate of Good Standing in Catania also turns up in share sales and loan files. Check which language the reader wants first.
