When you need a legalised agency agreement in Brazil
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.
Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.
In Brazil, a legalised agency agreement is typically requested for registering a commercial agent or distributor; it is also used for product registration by the local agent and exclusive territory appointments.
A agency agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Brazil accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the agency agreement or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
The agency agreement is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

Avoid rejection
- Sign every page; some embassies reject agreements initialled only on the last page.
- Check whether the agent must sign before or after legalisation.
