Overview

When you need a legalised agency agreement in the Netherlands

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.

In the Netherlands, 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. The Netherlands accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

Step-by-step: agency agreement apostille for the Netherlands

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the agency agreement and any list your buyer or authority in the Netherlands 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. Tracked return

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

What to send us

  • Original signed agency or distribution agreement
  • Company registration copies
  • Board resolution authorising the signatory
  • Translation, if the ministry abroad requires it

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.
