Why the Republic of the Congo 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 local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
In the Republic of the Congo, 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of the Republic of the Congo in New Delhi.
