Notarial Certification of LLC Meeting Minutes and Participant Resolutions: What Foreign Investors Need to Know
Meeting minutes and sole-participant resolutions of a limited liability company (LLC) registered in Uzbekistan are legally binding corporate documents — and in many cases they must be notarially certified to be valid. In this article I explain exactly when notarisation is mandatory, what documents to bring, and how to avoid rejection by the registration authority.
Why Do LLC Resolutions Need to Be Notarially Certified?
Meeting minutes of a general participants' meeting and a sole-participant resolution are not mere internal paperwork. They record the key corporate decisions of an Uzbek LLC: changes to the director, amendments to the charter (articles of association), increases or decreases in the authorised capital, reorganisation, and other significant acts. In many of these situations, Uzbek law expressly requires notarial certification — without it, the registration authority is entitled to refuse to register the relevant changes in the state company register.
