Overview

Why Namibia asks for a legalised bill of lading

The bill of lading is the carrier's receipt for the goods and the document of title for sea cargo. It shows the shipper, consignee, vessel, ports and container details. The shipping line or its agent issues the bill of lading; for air cargo the equivalent is the airway bill.

Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.

Companies dealing with Namibia are most often asked for a legalised bill of lading during proof of shipment for customs, as well as for letter of credit documentation and cargo release at the destination port.

A bill of lading issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Namibia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the bill of lading or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the bill of lading.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Back to you

    The finished bill of lading is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Namibia.
