Why the Netherlands 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.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
Companies dealing with the Netherlands are most often asked for a legalised board resolution during branch and subsidiary registration, as well as 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. The Netherlands accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
