When you need a legalised agency agreement in Bahrain
An agency or distribution agreement appoints a local company abroad to import, register or sell your products. Many countries require it to be registered with a ministry before the agent can act, and they accept it only once legalised. The agency or distribution agreement is executed between your Indian company and the foreign agent, signed by your authorised signatory.
Setting up a branch, appointing a local agent or opening a bank account in the Middle East usually starts with a legalised set of company documents from India.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Bahrain usually ask for a legalised agency agreement for registering a commercial agent or distributor, product registration by the local agent or exclusive territory appointments.
A agency agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Bahrain accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Bahrain accepts the MEA apostille, so commercial documents normally need the apostille plus an Arabic translation; embassy attestation is needed only in rare cases.
