Overview

Business agreement for France: what and why

Sale and supply contracts, service agreements, joint venture agreements and MoUs signed in India often need legal effect abroad, for tenders, bank financing, registrations or court proceedings. Business agreements such as sale, supply, service, joint venture or MoU documents are executed by your company's authorised signatory.

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 France are most often asked for a legalised business agreement during tenders and supplier registration, as well as for joint venture or project registration and bank financing and dispute resolution.

A business agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. France accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

France accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn French translation made in France; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.

Process

Step-by-step: business agreement apostille for France

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the business agreement and tell us who in France will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notary in India

    The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the business agreement.

  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

  • Translation, if required abroad
  • Signatory ID and company registration copies
  • Board resolution authorising the signatory
  • Original signed agreement
  • Certified French translation, if the authority in France asks (we arrange it)

Avoid rejection

  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • Use registered legal names, not brand names.
  • Attach annexures referred to in the agreement.
  • Make sure all pages are signed or initialled.
