Why Malta 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.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Malta usually ask for a legalised Articles of Association (AOA) for company or branch registration, bank account opening or 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. Malta accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
