How to Make a Board Resolution Online

A Board Resolution — also called a corporate resolution or directors' resolution — is the formal record of a decision adopted by a corporation's Board of Directors at a meeting with a quorum present. Banks, the SEC, the BIR, and registries rely on it as proof that the corporation duly authorized the act. Instead of reworking an old Word file, the generator asks for the facts and assembles the resolution for you:

  1. Create a free account. Registration costs nothing and opens the dashboard where the document library lives.
  2. Unlock the document. The Board Resolution is a paid document — a one-time 30-day unlock, or part of the Legalia All-Access pass (30 days, one-time — nothing auto-renews) that opens the entire library.
  3. Fill the guided fields, preview, then print or export. The resolution builds itself in a live preview as you type. Print it or download it as a Word file, then route it for signatures and, where required, notarization.

From Quorum Recital to Secretary's Certification

What banks and the SEC actually read in a board resolution is structure: who the corporation is, that the Board validly met, and exactly what was resolved. The generator walks through each part:

  • Corporate identity — corporation name, SEC registration number, and principal office: the details a bank or registry checks first.
  • Resolution number and series — number the resolution and its series year the way corporate records are kept.
  • Meeting recital — regular or special meeting, with its date and place, recited with the quorum language third parties expect.
  • Your WHEREAS and RESOLVED clauses — write the background recitals and the operative clauses in your own words: opening a bank account, designating signatories, authorizing a representative to contract, and similar corporate acts.
  • Signature blocks that match practice — certified correct by the Corporate Secretary and attested by the Chairperson of the Board or the President; optionally list the directors and name an authorized representative.
  • Notarization details — when the resolution will be notarized, the Corporate Secretary's identity details (ID type, number, and where and when it was issued) flow into the sworn portion of the document.

Banks and the SEC usually want a printed or Word copy on file — the finished resolution prints cleanly or exports to Word, ready for signatures and, where required, notarization.

Generator vs. Copy-Paste Template

Most board resolution Word docs floating around were drafted for someone else's corporation — stale SEC numbers, a missing quorum recital, RESOLVED clauses that never say who is actually authorized. The generator builds the resolution from your answers, so the corporate details, recitals, and signature blocks stay consistent. To study the document itself first, read the free board resolution sample and guide — it walks through every required element, from the quorum recital to notarization.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a board resolution online?
Create a free Legalia account, unlock the Board Resolution (a one-time 30-day unlock, or part of the All-Access pass), and fill in the guided fields: the corporation's identity, the meeting details, your WHEREAS and RESOLVED clauses, and the signatories. The resolution builds itself in a live preview as you type — print it or export it to Word, then route it for signatures.
Who signs a board resolution?
The resolution is certified correct by the Corporate Secretary, and is commonly attested by the Chairperson or President of the Board. Where useful, the directors who voted in favor may also sign, and an authorized representative's specimen signature may be included. When notarized, it is the Corporate Secretary who subscribes and swears to it before the notary public.
Does a board resolution need to be notarized?
A board resolution used purely as an internal corporate record need not be notarized. But when it is submitted to a bank, the SEC, the BIR, a registry, or another third party, the institution usually requires it to be notarized — or accompanied by a notarized Secretary's Certificate — to confirm its authenticity.
What is the difference between a board resolution and a Secretary's Certificate?
A Board Resolution is the decision of the Board itself, set out in WHEREAS recitals and RESOLVED clauses. A Secretary's Certificate is the Corporate Secretary's sworn certification that such a resolution was duly passed and remains in force. Banks and registries frequently ask for the Secretary's Certificate as the proof they file, but the underlying authority comes from the Board Resolution — many transactions use both.
Can I export the board resolution to Word?
Yes. The finished resolution prints cleanly or downloads as a Word file — useful because banks and the SEC typically want a signed printed copy, and reviewers often ask for the editable Word version.
Do I need All-Access to generate a board resolution?
No. You can unlock the Board Resolution on its own — a one-time 30-day unlock — or get the Legalia All-Access pass, which opens every document in the library for 30 days, including the Secretary's Certificate that often accompanies a resolution. Both are one-time payments; nothing auto-renews.
