The representative of the foreign company or the officers of the company to be established must sign the necessary documents for the registration application, complete the authentication procedures for the Affidavit and Signature Certificate in their home country, and after all original documents are gathered, submit the registration application to the Legal Affairs Bureau. The date of the registration application is regarded as the company establishment date (effective date).

The time required from the registration application to completion varies depending on the processing status and congestion of the Legal Affairs Bureau, but it usually takes about two weeks to one month.
After the registration is completed, the company’s Certificate of Registered Matters and Certificate of Seal Impression will be issued.
