Overview

When you need a legalised board resolution in Nigeria

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.

Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.

In Nigeria, 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Nigeria in New Delhi.

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the board resolution.

  4. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the board resolution, which the Nigeria High Commission requires before it will legalise it.

  5. Nigeria High Commission legalisation

    The High Commission of Nigeria in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.
