CA Utsav Dogra, Chartered Accountant, ICAI M. No. 542375 · Updated

In brief

Indian authorities need the UK parent's companies house certificate of incorporation and company profile, its constitution, a resolution naming the investment and signatory, and identity papers for each director. Apostille by the FCDO Legalisation Office, with e-apostilles available.

What is specific to UK companies

The FCDO Legalisation Office apostilles documents for the whole UK, and e-apostilles are accepted by many Indian reviewers. Allow for the notary appointment, Companies House copy times and the FCDO turnaround.
