Certifying Documents for Foreign Banks

We certify documents for foreign banks. We are listed in The Legal 500 and Chambers.

More and more Czech companies are opening accounts with foreign banks—to expand, to use payment gateways, or simply because a Czech bank will not open an account for a particular type of business. Some foreign banks require that the managing director’s identification documents be certified by an attorney from a law firm listed in The Legal 500. There are not many such firms in the Czech Republic, and we are one of them.

We recently certified a passport and a personal bank statement serving as proof of address for a client. The bank has precise requirements for the wording of the certification statement: confirmation that the copy is a true copy of the original, for the passport also confirmation that the photograph is a true likeness of the person, the name and telephone number of the certifying attorney, and the date of certification. We prepare the certification statement in English exactly according to the specific bank’s instructions, so you do not have to have the certification redone.

The whole process takes a single visit to our office in Malá Strana with the original documents. Simply forward the bank’s instructions to us at info@stuchlikova.com and let us know when it suits you to come in.
