List of directors for South Africa: what and why

The list of directors is issued on company letterhead and certified by a director or practising Company Secretary, usually matching the MCA master data.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Companies dealing with South Africa are most often asked for a legalised list of directors during company and branch registration, as well as 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. South Africa accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
