When you need a legalised list of directors in Canada
Foreign registries, banks and partners often ask for an official list of your company's directors and authorised signatories, to check who controls and represents the company. The list of directors is issued on company letterhead and certified by a director or practising Company Secretary, usually matching the MCA master data.
Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.
In Canada, a legalised list of directors is typically requested for company and branch registration; it is also used for bank KYC and tender and supplier due diligence.
A list of directors issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Canada accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Canada has accepted the apostille since January 2024, replacing consular legalisation.
