Overview

Board resolution for Portugal: what and why

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 Portugal 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. Portugal accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

Step-by-step: board resolution apostille for Portugal

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the board resolution and tell us who in Portugal will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the board resolution or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The board resolution is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

What to send us

  • Certified Portuguese translation, if the authority in Portugal asks (we arrange it)
  • Certificate of incorporation copy
  • Certified true copy of the board resolution
  • Director details of the signatory
  • Related POA or agreement, if legalised together

Avoid rejection

  • Quote the resolution text exactly as passed.
  • The resolution date should be before any POA it authorises.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • The signing director must still be on the board.
