Certificate of incorporation for the DR Congo: what and why
The certificate of incorporation proves that your company legally exists, with its name, CIN and date of incorporation. It is usually the first document foreign registries, banks and buyers ask for. The certificate of incorporation is issued by the Registrar of Companies through the MCA; the printed copy is certified as a true copy.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Companies dealing with the DR Congo are most often asked for a legalised certificate of incorporation during subsidiary or branch registration, as well as for supplier registration and tenders and bank accounts.
A certificate of incorporation 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 the DR Congo in New Delhi.
