Board Resolution – Embassy Legalization & Document Authentication for Arab Countries

The Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, based in Washington, D.C., provides embassy legalization and document authentication services for corporate documents, including Board Resolutions. When a Board Resolution is intended for use in an Arab country, it may need to be properly notarized, authenticated, and legalized before it can be accepted by local authorities.

AACC helps U.S.-based companies and their legal representatives navigate the required legalization process for Arab embassies, making it easier to prepare and submit corporate documents correctly.

What Is a Board Resolution?

A Board Resolution is a formal decision approved by a company's board of directors. It can authorize specific business activities or appoint individuals to act on behalf of the company.

A Board Resolution may be used to authorize:

• Opening international bank accounts

• Appointing a regional representative or distributor

• Entering into a partnership or agency agreement abroad

• Making investments or carrying out business activities in an Arab country

When a Board Resolution is intended for use outside the United States, particularly in Middle Eastern or North African countries, it may need to go through authentication and embassy legalization before it can be accepted by the relevant authorities.

Our 4-Step Board Resolution Legalization Process

AACC helps coordinate the required steps for legalizing a Board Resolution for use abroad:

1. Notarization
   The Board Resolution must be notarized by a notary public in the same state where the document was issued or executed.

2. Secretary of State Certification
   After notarization, the document must be certified by the Secretary of State in the applicable state.

3. U.S. Department of State Authentication
   The certified document is then submitted to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. for federal authentication.

4. Embassy Legalization
   The final step is submission to the embassy of the destination Arab country for legalization.

AACC manages the U.S. Department of State authentication and embassy legalization stages on your behalf and coordinates the process according to the destination country's requirements.
