When you need a legalised agency agreement in Saudi Arabia
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.
In Saudi Arabia, 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. Saudi Arabia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Saudi Arabia accepts the MEA apostille, so no Saudi Embassy step is needed. Only the current MEA apostille with a QR code is accepted by Saudi authorities, not the older apostille format.
