Apply for bank account but have a question.

[ImKing]

I reviewed the questonnaire and your fees, it is OK.


One question before we proceed:


The incorporation documents are bi-lingual (English and Chinese) as everything else in Hong Kong.


The incorporation facts are also available publicly on-line through HK governmental agency Web sites.


So the bank can verify the authenticity of the documents presented.


What do you mean by notarized? Notarized in which country?

 

[sanches]

What bank do you open bank account with for this question?

The corporate documents are fine, no problem with it, just get them notarized by a notary service or a reputable law firm you may ask a lawyer or certified accountant to help you with this simple task.

You need to find a notary service in your city / country and get your docs notarize, if you don't have a notary then use a local lawyer to sign them to be a true copy!

Can you PM me your experience with the incorporation process, TAT and all this please?

 

[doyouexist]

Yeah op can you please en light if this is something you accomplished or forgot about.

 

[swissbanking]

Usually as long as the documents are translated by a certified translator and by a notary service they are perfectly fine to be used. OP did you get your account after all?

 

[JohnLocke]

Confirmed, if you don't have the documents for your company and your person in English a translation is required either by a certified translator or by get the documents notarized by a notary service in your country after they have been translated into English of course.

Assuming you want to open a bank account in Hong Kong , then Chinese documents supposed to be okay...

Notarization or having your documents to be notarized is like a sign of making it legal or making it valid. Since anyone could fake documents, banks will require you to have a notarized document , which is usually signed by Lawyers after you paid them so that whenever there's something wrong with your documents, the Lawyer that signed your paper could be liable.

Here is a more detailed discussion I found Definition of NOTARIZATION

Thanks, the link is of great help. I didn't figured out what it means Noatrized documents and where I could get this in my country. I thought it was something specific to the offshore jurisdictions.

When you don't know what a notary service is how do you know what offshore company is? you really need to learn before you jump into such ventures.
