Trademark registration certificate translation

A trademark registration certificate shows that a trademark is registered and defines the scope of its protection. It is used for overseas registration applications, distribution agreements and trademark infringement files.

The registration number, class information (Nice Classification) and protection period are translated in full. Class numbers are international and are not converted.

Which institutions request this document?

  • Foreign trademark offices — for priority claims; these require a priority document showing a certified copy of the first application rather than the registration certificate
  • Customs authorities — for counterfeit goods procedures
  • Courts — in trademark infringement cases
  • Distributors and licensees

Certification requirements

Is notarisation required?

Notarized translations are required for official applications and litigation files.

Is an apostille required?

An apostille can be obtained for an institution-certified document; it is issued by a provincial or district governor's office.

There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.

Preparing your document

  • Send the document's annexes and list of classes together
