Why Australia asks for a legalised Articles of Association (AOA)
The Articles of Association set out how your company is run: directors' powers, meetings, share transfers and signing authority. Foreign registries and banks read it to understand who can bind the company. The AOA is filed with the Registrar of Companies; the copy legalised is certified as a true copy by a director or company secretary.
Registering a business presence in Oceania usually needs apostilled company documents from India.
Companies dealing with Australia are most often asked for a legalised Articles of Association (AOA) during company or branch registration, as well as for bank account opening and verifying signing authority.
The Articles of Association (AOA) issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Australia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
