Why Malta asks for a legalised certificate of incorporation
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.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
In Malta, a legalised certificate of incorporation is typically requested for subsidiary or branch registration; it is also used for supplier registration and tenders and bank accounts.
A certificate of incorporation issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Malta accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
