Documents Required to Form a Company in Syria

The final list changes with entity, activity and founder nationality, but organising documents early reduces delay and duplicated work.

Last updated: 8 September 2026

Scope of service

  • Identity documents and legal capacity of founders.
  • Corporate resolutions and existence documents for entity founders.
  • Powers of attorney, legalisation and translation.
  • Name, objects, address, capital and management information.

What we deliver

  • A tailored list instead of a generic checklist.
  • Review of document validity and data consistency.
  • Drafting of powers and resolutions where needed.
  • A document tracker identifying gaps.

How we work

  1. Define the activity, parties and commercial objectives.
  2. Select the appropriate structure and regulatory route.
  3. Prepare documents and complete registration or approvals.
  4. Support post-completion governance and continuing compliance.

Legal points to manage

A small inconsistency in a name or capacity across passport, translation, resolution and power of attorney can stop a filing. The full document chain should be checked before submission.

Frequently asked questions

Is there one list for every company?

No. Requirements change with legal form, activity, founders and necessary approvals.

How long are foreign documents valid?

It depends on the document and receiving authority, so timing should be confirmed before legalisation starts.

Is an ordinary translation sufficient?

An officially acceptable translation and legalisation route is generally required based on issue country and intended use.
