Why Ecuador 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.
Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.
In Ecuador, a legalised Articles of Association (AOA) is typically requested for company or branch registration; it is also used 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. Ecuador accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
