Overview

Why Bhutan asks for a legalised agency agreement

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.

Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Bhutan 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Bhutan in New Delhi.

    The Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi verifies the chamber's stamp and adds its attestation.

  5. Bhutan Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Bhutan in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.
