Overview

Why Saudi Arabia 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.

Companies dealing with Saudi Arabia 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. Saudi Arabia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Saudi Arabia accepts the MEA apostille, so no Saudi Embassy step is needed. Only the current MEA apostille with a QR code is accepted by Saudi authorities, not the older apostille format.

Process

The Saudi Arabia process for an Indian board resolution

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the board resolution and tell us who in Saudi Arabia 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

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

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille with a QR code, the only format Saudi authorities accept.

  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

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

Avoid rejection

  • The signing director must still be on the board.
  • 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.
