Board resolution for Qatar: 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.
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 Qatar, 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 Embassy of Qatar in New Delhi.
After Qatar Embassy legalisation in New Delhi, Qatari authorities generally also want the document attested by Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after arrival, which your Qatari partner arranges locally.
