Plan the recognised signature before execution
The court authenticates recognised public or notarial signatures. An internally signed record may first need formal certification.
Board or shareholder resolution
Confirm the final wording, company authority and original signatures required by the foreign recipient.
Notarial certification
A Dutch notary may need to legalise a signature or certify a copy before court submission.
Apostille on certification
The apostille generally authenticates the recognised notarial or official signature, not the commercial content.
Corporate records that often need supporting evidence
Foreign subsidiary
A resolution authorises incorporation, shareholding or appointment activity in another country.
Banking and representation
A bank asks for proof of directors, authorised signatories or a corporate power of attorney.
Transaction or compliance
A buyer, regulator or adviser requests authenticated corporate approvals and supporting records.

Frequently asked questions
Can a board resolution go directly to the court?
Usually not if it only carries a private company signature. A recognised notarial certification route may be needed first.
What is a certificate of incumbency?
It is commonly used to identify current directors or officers, but the Dutch document and certification route must match the recipient’s wording.
Should the resolution be signed before review?
Preferably review the foreign formalities first. Re-signing may be required if the certification wording or signer is unsuitable.
Can a corporate power of attorney be included?
Yes. It may follow a related notarial and apostille route depending on how it is executed.
Can Apostille Assist draft corporate legal documents?
No. Apostille Assist coordinates documents and authentication steps; legal drafting should be handled by the appropriate lawyer or notary.
