Foreign-company KYC for a specific Russian bank

Foreign Company Document Translation for a Russian Bank

We translate the registration, constitutional, ownership, director, address and tax records supplied for a Russian bank’s corporate KYC review. The exact package varies by bank, account type, country and ownership structure.

Start with the bank’s current written checklist. We map each requested item to the available source, identify missing pages or authentication marks and confirm the translation/certification route before quoting.

Before translation

Four items that control the bank package

The RU bank page starts with purpose, account data and certification. The EN page narrows this to foreign legal-entity KYC.

01

Exact bank and account task

Name the bank and whether this is opening, updating or supporting an existing corporate account.

02

Current written checklist

Requirements may differ by bank, entity type, jurisdiction and ownership structure.

03

Complete source set

Include every side, annex, notarial page, apostille and legalisation mark.

04

Approved names

Provide prior Russian spellings for the company, directors, owners and addresses if available.

KYC package

Documents the bank may request

This is a mapping aid, not a universal bank checklist.

A

Registration and status

Certificate of incorporation, commercial register extract, tax or current-status evidence.

B

Charter and constitutional records

Charter, memorandum, articles, amendments and equivalent formation documents.

C

Ownership and beneficial owners

Shareholder register, ownership chart and records identifying controlling persons.

D

Directors and representatives

Passports, appointments, resolutions and powers of attorney for authorised persons.

E

Address and operations

Registered office, operating address and related evidence requested by the bank.

F

Authentication pages

Apostilles, consular legalisation and notarial certificates linked to their source document.

Entity control

What we check across the KYC set

We do not decide whether KYC is sufficient and cannot guarantee account opening. We make repeated source information visible and consistent within the agreed translation package.

1
Legal name and aliasesEntity form, former names and approved Russian spelling are recorded.
2
Registration and tax numbersNumbers, issuing authority, issue dates and validity dates are checked.
3
Owners and percentagesShareholders, beneficial owners and share percentages are compared across records.
4
Authority and addressDirectors, representatives, powers, registered office and operating address are aligned.
Procedure boundary

Translation, authentication and the bank’s decision are separate

The correct sequence depends on the issuing country, document and current bank instruction.

Source authentication

If the bank requires apostille or legalisation, it is normally arranged in the country that issued the document before translation.

Translation

The source and all authentication marks are translated as the agreed document set.

Partner notary

Where requested, a partner notary performs the applicable notarial act; Rocketperevod coordinates that route.

Bank review

The bank alone decides whether KYC is complete and whether to open or maintain the account.

Current rates and estimates

Catalogue starting points for a bank package

The final quote reflects the actual number and volume of documents, language direction, scans, tables, ownership charts, authentication pages, certification and delivery.

English-language translation575 ₽ per standard page
Agency certification400 ₽ per document
Partner-notary certification800 ₽ per document

These are current catalogue starting points in roubles, not a promised total. The complete company file, layout and required formalities control the final quote and schedule.

Risks

What commonly causes rework

These follow the RU bank page’s emphasis on details, sums, tables and certification.

A generic checklist was used

Request the current list from the specific bank and corporate account team.

Ownership information conflicts

Send the full ownership chain and clarify contradictions with the adviser or bank.

Authentication pages are missing

Include the source, reverse side and every apostille, legalisation or notarial page.

Account opening was treated as guaranteed

Translation supports the submission; it does not control the bank’s KYC or account decision.

Bank-document flow

From checklist to the agreed KYC translation set

No form is submitted during QA; the order route starts with file review.

1

Bank list

Send the current checklist and name the account task.

2

Mapping

We match requested items to source records and missing pages.

3

Sequence

Confirm authentication, translation and certification order.

4

Quote

Approve the written scope, schedule, deliverables and delivery.

5

Set review

Translate, edit, lay out and check repeated KYC entities.

FAQ

Foreign-company bank document questions

The current bank instruction remains authoritative.

Do all Russian banks request the same documents?

No. The list varies by bank, entity, jurisdiction, ownership structure and account task. Send the current written checklist.

Will translation guarantee account opening?

No. The bank alone assesses KYC and decides whether to open or maintain the account.

Can a scan start the quote?

Yes, a readable complete file normally starts review. An original may later be required for a specific procedure.

When should apostille or legalisation be completed?

Ask the bank first. If required, it is normally arranged in the country that issued the document before the source and all legalisation marks are translated.

Can company names be controlled across a large set?

Yes. We record approved spellings and check repeated company, person, address and registration data across the supplied files.

Can you tell us whether our KYC package is legally sufficient?

No. We map and translate the bank’s supplied list; legal or compliance sufficiency remains with the bank and your advisers.
