Overview

Why Saudi Arabia 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.

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.

In Saudi Arabia, 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. 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 certificate of incorporation

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the certificate of incorporation 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 certificate of incorporation 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 certificate of incorporation.

  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

  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Name-change certificate, if any
  • Printed certificate of incorporation, certified as a true copy
  • Board resolution and MOA/AOA, if legalised together
  • Certified Arabic translation, if the authority in Saudi Arabia asks (we arrange it)

Avoid rejection

  • Order extra originals; many authorities keep the legalised copy.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • The CIN and name must match the MOA and board resolution.
  • Legalise the name-change certificate too if the name has changed.
