One decision, written down well

A corporate resolution is the written record of one decision your board or your shareholders took. It might appoint a director, open an account abroad, or let a named person sign a deal. Put in the date, the meeting and the exact words of the decision. To apostille a Corporate Resolution in Catania, that record must be clean and final before anyone signs.

Chair's minutes or a notary's minutes

Minutes come in two shapes, and the shape sets the desk. Minutes that the chair and the secretary sign are a private paper, so a notary must certify those signatures first. Other decisions are minuted by a notary from the start. The office named for this route is the Prefettura, the prefect's local branch of the government, while notarial and court papers go to the Procura della Repubblica.

So before you plan how to apostille a Corporate Resolution, tell us which shape you hold. An apostille is one stamp proving that an official signature is real, and it can only follow a signature a desk is able to check. We read your minutes, then join the right queue for you.

Fee and the bank's cut-off

The state fee is a tax stamp of €16 per document, and some papers are exempt. The apostille cost for a Corporate Resolution in Catania is that stamp for each set of minutes you send. Two decisions written up as two records mean two stamps. The notary charges apart for certifying the signatures. Start early, because a bank's cut-off will not move for a queue.

Bank accounts and appointments

Banks abroad ask for these minutes before they open an account for an Italian firm. So do registrars when you name a local agent or set up a branch. Tender boards want to see that the bid was approved. Italy has been in the Hague Convention since 1978, so you can apostille a Corporate Resolution in Italy and a member state will accept it stamped.

Names, spellings and language

Spell every name in the minutes as it appears in that person's passport, because a reader abroad matches them letter by letter. Ask whether they want a sworn translation as well. If the country sits outside the Hague Convention, full legalisation of a Corporate Resolution in Catania is the route, ending at its consulate.

Corporate Resolution apostille FAQ

Who gives a Corporate Resolution apostille Catania?

The Prefettura in the city is the office named for this route. If a notary took or certified the minutes, they count as a notarial paper, and those are stamped by the Procura della Repubblica at the court instead. Both sit in the same city but not in the same building. Send us the signed minutes and we will pick the door.

Can the chair sign the minutes and send them straight off?

Not on their own. A signature from your own board is a private mark, and no stamp can vouch for it. A notary must first certify who signed, which turns the minutes into a paper a desk is able to check. Book that notary visit before the bank's deadline, since it is the step people forget and it cannot be skipped.

The bank also wants proof the signer is a director. Same paper?

No, that is a second paper. The minutes show what was decided, while the register sheet from the chamber of commerce shows who holds office today. Each is a document in its own right, so each needs a stamp and a tax stamp. Ask the bank for its full list up front, and we will stamp them in one run.

Should the minutes name the bank or the deal?

Yes, and this is where most files come unstuck. A loose wording that lets the board do anything is often turned away, because the reader wants the very act it is being asked to accept. Name the bank, the country, the deal and the person who may sign. If the plan shifts later, you need fresh minutes and a fresh stamp.
