When you need a legalised Articles of Association (AOA) in Egypt
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.
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.
Companies dealing with Egypt 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi.
Egypt does not accept the apostille. Documents are legalised by the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi, and Egyptian ministries often expect an Arabic translation.
