The whole instrument, not the interesting parts
A certified translation of an Articles of Incorporation in Belfast reproduces the whole instrument — the clauses, the schedules, the signature block — in the second language, while the filed paper stays untouched. The translator adds a signed statement of accuracy that names the document and the date. That statement is what turns a private rendering into something an office will read as evidence rather than as a helpful summary.
The name and the number are not words to translate
A company's registered name is a label, not a phrase with a meaning to carry over. The same is true of its legal form and its registration number. Good work leaves those exactly as filed, sometimes with a short gloss beside them, so a reader can match the paper against the register it came from. Turning a company name into its literal equal breaks that match, and the office then has two firms where there was one.
Who signs, and what the signature covers
The work is signed by an ITI/CIOL-qualified certified translator. That signature covers the accuracy of the wording — not the truth of what the company resolved, and not whether a clause holds good under some other country's law. An official translation of an Articles of Incorporation in Belfast is usually wanted when a bank, a foreign registry or a counterparty needs to read the constitution in its own language, and each of them cares about the same thing: that the text matches, and that a named person is answerable for it.
Cost and pace
The translation cost for an Articles of Incorporation in Belfast is counted per page of the source, at about £25 a page, so a thirty-page instrument costs what thirty pages cost. Standard work runs 2–3 business days, and a 24-hour route exists at a higher rate. Deciding which schedules are genuinely being filed is the only real lever on the total, and it is a decision worth making before the pages are counted.
Where the Belfast papers come from
Company papers do not come from a register office. The General Register Office for Northern Ireland (GRONI), at Colby House, Stranmillis Court, Belfast BT9 5RR, holds Northern Ireland birth, marriage and death entries, and it works by post rather than over a counter. It matters here because a company file often travels with a director's own record, and a fresh certified copy from GRONI can be used for that, so the one you already hold never has to leave you.
