Apostille Certificate of Incumbency

As a representative of a U.S. company doing business in a foreign nation, you may be asked to provide an apostilled Certificate of Incumbency.

A Certificate of Incumbency is a document that names the company’s officers or individual employees that can conduct business in another country on behalf of the U.S. company. This document is often issued by the corporation’s (or LLC’s) president or secretary.

Included in this document is the name of each director and their title or position, whether they were elected or appointed, and term of office. It will also include a signature next to each position. In some cases, the list may also include names of specific shareholders.

Why to Apostille

When doing business overseas, the other company will often want to ensure they are working with your company’s legitimate representative.

An apostille is a widely recognized certificate authenticating the document. Apostilles are recognized by all countries that are members of the Hauge Convention of 1961. If your destination country does not accept or recognize an apostille, you will need to legalize the Incumbency Certificate.

Legalizing the Certificate of Incumbency means you will need to prove the document’s authenticity through the foreign country’s embassy.

The first step is to have each signature of the document notarized. That means that a notary will need to watch the authorized party sign next to their name and title.

We also recommend that you obtain a notarized Certificate of Good Standing

issued by the state where the business’s headquarters is located.

Once that is done, send the Certificate of Incumbency to One Source Process to obtain the apostille.

    I asked the agent to issue a certificate of incumbency for me . Is it possible that you appostille it from the Embassy of Egypt in the US and from the US Department of state ? . How much would be the fees? And how much would be shipping it to Egypt via FedEx. Thank you so much.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you.
    Best Regards.
