Apostille or embassy attestation?
Frequently asked questions
Can the resolution be in a format the foreign authority prefers?
Yes. Many authorities share their own wording. As long as the board has passed it, we can process the resolution in that format.
How long is a board resolution accepted abroad?
It depends on the authority. Banks and registries often want a recently passed resolution, so we check the date during the review.
