Overview

Agency agreement for France: what and why

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.

Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.

Companies dealing with France are most often asked for a legalised agency agreement during registering a commercial agent or distributor, as well as 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. France accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

France accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn French translation made in France; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.

Process

The France process for an Indian agency agreement

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the agency agreement and any list your buyer or authority in France gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the agency agreement or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the agency agreement.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Back to you

    The finished agency agreement is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in France.

What to send us

  • Original signed agency or distribution agreement
  • Translation, if the ministry abroad requires it
  • Certified French translation, if the authority in France asks (we arrange it)
  • Company registration copies
  • Board resolution authorising the signatory

Avoid rejection

  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • Check whether the agent must sign before or after legalisation.
  • Use the exact registered names of both parties.
  • Sign every page; some embassies reject agreements initialled only on the last page.
