Notes
- Tax registration is a separate step. Unlike jurisdictions where the registry number doubles as tax ID, Mongolia requires a distinct GDT filing within 14 days of GASR registration. Collect both the State Registration Certificate and the Taxpayer Certificate.
- Charter must be in Mongolian. Bilingual charters are accepted; Mongolian text governs. Notarisation required for multi-shareholder charters. A foreign-language-only charter will be rejected.
- Apostille accepted — but five states have objected. Mongolia acceded 2 Apr 2009 (in force 31 Dec 2009). Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, and Greece raised objections; the Convention does not operate between Mongolia and those five states.
