Apostille for Board Resolution in Switzerland

A Board Resolution is an official corporate document recording decisions taken by the board of directors of a company. Board Resolutions typically authorise key management actions such as appointing directors or officers, opening or operating bank accounts, approving contracts, establishing foreign branches or subsidiaries, granting powers of attorney, or entering into international transactions (apostille for Board Resolution Switzerland).

When a Board Resolution issued in Switzerland is intended for use outside Switzerland, it must usually be authenticated with an apostille in order to be accepted by foreign banks, authorities, 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 official who certified the Board 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 Board Resolution may be rejected abroad, delaying banking procedures, corporate registrations, or contractual arrangements.
