Why Bahrain asks for a legalised board resolution
A board resolution records a decision of your directors, such as opening a branch abroad, appointing a representative, signing an agency agreement or granting a POA. Foreign authorities rely on it to confirm who may act for the company. The board resolution is issued as a certified true copy on company letterhead, signed by a director or the 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.
In Bahrain, a legalised board resolution is typically requested for branch and subsidiary registration; it is also used for appointing authorised signatories and bank account opening.
A board resolution issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Bahrain accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Bahrain accepts the MEA apostille, so commercial documents normally need the apostille plus an Arabic translation; embassy attestation is needed only in rare cases.
