Director list apostille: quick answer
Director list apostille is the stamp the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) puts on your Indian list of directors so that it is accepted in Hague Convention countries. Before the MEA stage, commercial documents must be authenticated by a recognised Chamber of Commerce; the MEA then fixes the apostille for a government fee of ₹50 per document.
For the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and other non-Hague countries the apostille is not accepted. There you need Director list attestation: Chamber of Commerce attestation, MEA attestation and then the embassy stamp.
INFINITYGRO handles List of directors apostille for exporters, companies and individuals across India by courier. Send a WhatsApp photo of the list of directors and the destination country, and you get the route and a written quote before anything is sent.
Why a list of directors needs apostille or attestation
Foreign banks, company registrars, free zones and tender authorities need to know who controls an Indian company before they deal with it. The list of directors, with names, DINs, designations and dates of appointment, answers that question and is often requested alongside the MOA, AOA and certificate of incorporation.
The list is prepared on company letterhead and certified by a director or the company secretary, or printed from the MCA records and certified. It is then notarised, attested by a Chamber of Commerce and apostilled by the MEA, or attested by the MEA and the embassy for non-Hague countries.
