Question 1

Is a sole shareholder decision of a Spanish LLC signed in Slovakia valid?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided that the signature of the shareholder's managing director is certified by a Slovak notary, the document is authenticated with an Apostille certificate, and the document is officially translated.

Question 2

Why must the Slovak notarial certification have an Apostille certificate?

Accepted Answer

Both the Slovak Republic and Spain are contracting parties to the Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents. In order for Spanish authorities to recognize a signature certified by a Slovak notary, an Apostille certificate is required. We will arrange this completely for you at the Legalization Center.

Question 3

How does the Legalization Center provide the complete turnkey package?

Accepted Answer

We ensure inspection, express arrangement of the Apostille, translation into Spanish, and tricolor ribbon binding with courier delivery directly to Spain or to you. You can also pick up the document in person.

Question 4

Can the document directly contain Spanish text when signed before a Slovak notary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Slovak notary legalizes your handwritten signature on a document drafted in Spanish. Subsequently, at the Legalization Center we secure the Apostille certificate and provide an official certified translation of the Slovak notarial and Apostille clauses into Spanish.
