If your company wishes to do business in another country, you'll need to get the Articles of Incorporation apostilled. The Articles of Incorporation are a set of legal documents filed with the Secretary of State to establish a corporation as a distinct legal entity. These documents are referred to as a Corporate Charter, Articles of Association, or Certificate of Incorporation. 

​

Most Articles of Incorporation will include:

• Firm’s name

• Street address

• Name and address of the registered agent

• Amount and type of stock to be issued

• Purpose of the corporation

​

Obtain an Apostille for the Articles of Incorporation

​

When conducting business internationally, you'll frequently need to verify the authenticity of your Articles of Incorporation.

The procedure of obtaining an Apostille is a widely accepted method of proving a document's authenticity. All countries who are members of the 1961 Hague Convention recognize this procedure. The Secretary of State in the state where the business is registered obtains an Apostille.

​

If your destination country isn't a member of the 1961 Hague Convention, you'll need to go through the legalization process to get your documents authenticated, which entails a few more procedures, including gaining certification from the country's embassy or consulate. This is an area where American Apostille & Notary Services can help.
