Extrait Kbis (Commercial Register) Apostille
Apostille for Kbis extracts from the Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce and other French commercial documents for UAE business operations and company formation.
Apostille your Extrait Kbis (French commercial register extract) for UAE business registration, trade licensing, and corporate banking. Green Apple Attest manages the process from Dubai.
The Extrait Kbis is the official identity document for French commercial companies, issued by the Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce (Commercial Court Registry). It confirms a company's legal existence, registration details, and management structure. For French companies entering the UAE market — whether setting up a branch, registering with a free zone, or opening a corporate bank account — an apostilled Kbis is one of the foundational documents required.
The apostille for the Extrait Kbis is issued by the Cour d'Appel with jurisdiction over the Tribunal de Commerce that issued the extract. Since the Kbis has a standard validity of 3 months, timing is critical: the extract must be fresh, the apostille must be processed promptly, and the document must reach the UAE authority while still within its validity window.
Green Apple Attest coordinates this time-sensitive process from Dubai. We can order a fresh Extrait Kbis from Infogreffe (the national commercial register portal) or the relevant Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce, immediately submit it for apostille at the correct Cour d'Appel, and arrange express courier to the UAE. We also provide certified English or Arabic translation so the document is fully ready for the UAE authority upon arrival.
For companies establishing multiple legal entities or going through complex UAE licensing, we process the Kbis alongside other corporate documents such as statuts (articles of association), procès-verbaux (board minutes), and procurations (powers of attorney) as a coordinated package.

Insider tips
Frequently asked questions
The Kbis is generally considered valid for 3 months from its date of issue. Most UAE authorities enforce this validity period strictly. We ensure the apostille and delivery are completed well within this window.
Yes. We can order the Extrait Kbis directly from Infogreffe using your company's SIREN number, or from the relevant Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce. This speeds up the process significantly.
Auto-entrepreneurs and micro-entrepreneurs do not receive a Kbis. Instead, you would need an Avis de situation au répertoire Sirene from INSEE or your registration certificate from the relevant Chambre (CMA, CCI). We can advise on the correct document for your specific situation.
Common companion documents include the statuts (articles of association), procès-verbal designating the gérant or president, power of attorney for UAE representation, and a certificat de conformité. The exact list depends on the UAE authority requirements.
