Apostille for Shareholder Resolution in Switzerland

A Shareholder Resolution is an official corporate document recording decisions taken by the shareholders of a company. These resolutions may approve key corporate actions such as changes to share capital, appointment or removal of directors, amendments to the Articles of Association, approval of financial statements, mergers, acquisitions, or authorisation to open bank accounts or establish subsidiaries abroad (apostille for Shareholder Resolution Switzerland).

When a Shareholder Resolution issued in Switzerland is intended for use outside Switzerland, it must usually be authenticated with an apostille to be accepted by foreign authorities, banks, and business partners.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certificate issued under the Hague Apostille Convention. It confirms the authenticity of the signature, seal, and authority of the Swiss notary or public official who certified the Shareholder Resolution. Switzerland is a contracting state to the Convention, meaning that a Swiss apostille is recognised directly in all other member countries without the need for embassy or consular legalisation.

Without an apostille, a Swiss Shareholder Resolution may be rejected abroad, delaying corporate transactions, banking procedures, or regulatory approvals.
