Ghanaian Commercial Documents
Ghanaian Commercial Documents
Ghanaian businesses entering the UAE market or conducting commercial activities with Emirati entities need their corporate documents authenticated. Documents issued by the Registrar General Department, Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), and other commercial bodies must pass through MFA authentication and the UAE attestation chain.
Green Apple Attest handles the complete process for certificates of incorporation, certificates of commencement of business, company regulations, tax clearance certificates, and other commercial filings. We coordinate with the Registrar General, GRA, and the MFA to ensure smooth processing.
Our service supports Ghanaian companies setting up UAE operations, businesses bidding on Emirates contracts, exporters establishing trade relationships, and firms opening corporate accounts with UAE banks. We ensure every document meets the specifications required by UAE regulatory authorities.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Ensure your company annual returns are filed and up to date with the Registrar General before requesting authentication. Outstanding filings can delay or prevent processing.
- Obtain a fresh GRA tax clearance certificate before starting the process. Expired certificates cannot be authenticated.
- Submit all corporate documents together to streamline processing through the MFA and Embassy. Individual submissions take longer and cost more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Requirements vary by UAE jurisdiction, but typically include a certificate of incorporation, certificate of commencement of business, company regulations, and a board resolution. Some free zones require additional documentation. We advise based on your target jurisdiction.
If your UAE jurisdiction or business partner requires proof of Ghanaian tax compliance, the GRA certificate must go through the MFA authentication chain. It must be current and valid at the time of submission.
The full chain takes approximately 15 to 20 working days. If additional verifications from the Registrar General are needed, add 5 to 7 working days. We recommend starting at least one month before your UAE business deadline.
