Overview

Why Sri Lanka 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.

Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.

In Sri Lanka, 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 Sri Lanka in New Delhi.

Process

Step-by-step: board resolution attestation for Sri Lanka

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the board resolution and any list your buyer or authority in Sri Lanka gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  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. Ministry of External Affairs

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

  5. Sri Lanka High Commission legalisation

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

  6. 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

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

Avoid rejection

  • The signing director must still be on the board.
  • Quote the resolution text exactly as passed.
  • Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Sri Lanka High Commission compares names across the set.
  • The resolution date should be before any POA it authorises.
