Overview

Certificate of incorporation for China: what and why

The certificate of incorporation proves that your company legally exists, with its name, CIN and date of incorporation. It is usually the first document foreign registries, banks and buyers ask for. The certificate of incorporation is issued by the Registrar of Companies through the MCA; the printed copy is certified as a true copy.

Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.

In China, a legalised certificate of incorporation is typically requested for subsidiary or branch registration; it is also used for supplier registration and tenders and bank accounts.

A certificate of incorporation issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of China in New Delhi.

Although China joined the Apostille Convention in 2023, in our processing experience Indian commercial documents for China are still legalised through the Chinese Embassy, so that is the route we follow.

  2. Notarisation

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

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The certificate of incorporation is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. MEA attestation

    The Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi verifies the chamber's stamp and adds its attestation.

  5. China Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of China in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  6. Back to you

    The finished certificate of incorporation is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in China.
