When you need a legalised Articles of Association (AOA) in Rwanda
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.
Companies dealing with Rwanda 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. Rwanda accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
