The Secretary Certificate is a crucial corporate document used in Malta to provide formal verification of company matters. It is commonly required when dealing with banks, regulatory authorities, or business partners who need official confirmation of corporate actions or facts. The certificate, governed by the Maltese Companies Act and related regulations, serves as an official statement from the company secretary, who holds statutory authority to certify corporate matters. Secretary Certificates are particularly important in transactions requiring proof of corporate authority, verification of officer appointments, confirmation of shareholder resolutions, or certification of constitutional documents. The document must be prepared in compliance with Maltese law and may require additional authentication, such as apostille, for international use.
