Summary
Bylaws in the US generally do not require authentication unless involved in court proceedings or business transactions, where a corporate secretary certificate might suffice. Ethiopia not being a Hague Convention member lengthens the authentication process in the US and UK, requiring certification by Ethiopian authorities and respective embassies. For car-related agreements, choose a contract for car rental services for rentals or a contract for car supply for sales.Full Conversation
