What is a Certificate of Incorporation?
A Certificate of Incorporation (COI) is a statutory document issued by the Registrar of Companies (ROC), Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of India. It legally confirms the existence and registration of a company in India.
Key Details Mentioned in COI:
• Company Name • CIN (Corporate Identification Number) • Date of Incorporation • Company Type (Private Limited / LLP / OPC / Public Ltd) This document is treated as a commercial corporate record internationally.
Why is Certificate of Incorporation Apostille Required Abroad?
Foreign authorities do not recognize Indian company documents unless they are legally authenticated. A Certificate of Incorporation Apostille from MEA is required for: • Opening overseas corporate bank accounts • Company registration / branch office setup abroad • Foreign tax registration & compliance • Joint ventures, mergers, or acquisitions • Government or private international tenders • Export–import licensing and trade approvals Without Apostille, the document is considered invalid or incomplete.
When is Apostille Accepted & When is Embassy Legalization Required?
• ✔ Hague Convention Countries → MEA Apostille only • ❌ Non-Hague Countries → Embassy / Consular Legalization 👉 Abrodex verifies the destination country before processing to avoid rejection.
