Documents Typically Required

Foreign business registries typically require apostilled articles of incorporation or organization, a certificate of good standing (also called a certificate of status or certificate of existence), corporate resolutions authorizing the foreign registration, and a power of attorney for the local representative.

State vs. Federal Apostille

Most corporate documents are issued by the state where the company is registered and require a state apostille. Documents issued by federal agencies (IRS, SEC, USPTO) require a federal apostille from the US Department of State. We handle both.

Translation Requirements

Many countries require corporate documents to be translated into the local language by a certified translator. We can coordinate certified translation along with the apostille service.

Prepare your documents with confidence

For a foreign entity registration, obtain the receiving registry’s checklist before preparing formation documents, status certificates or representative powers. Authentication does not register the entity or establish local licensing compliance.

Corporate files should identify the legal entity accurately and show who is authorized to act for it. A formation document, certificate of status and signed resolution serve different purposes. The foreign registry, bank or counterparty decides which records it accepts; authentication does not establish that an entity meets a foreign registration or licensing requirement.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Confirm the exact legal name, entity identifier, issuing jurisdiction and document date against the recipient’s checklist.

Obtain official certified registry documents when requested; separately prepare private resolutions or agreements in their accepted signing format.

Check signer authority, complete attachments, translation and whether current status evidence is needed.

Can an apostille register my company abroad?

No. The foreign registry or institution decides registration and acceptance. An apostille authenticates the relevant signature or certification on the prepared document.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
