Overview

Certificate of incorporation for Sri Lanka: 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 Sri Lanka, 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 High Commission of Sri Lanka in New Delhi.

Process

The Sri Lanka process for an Indian certificate of incorporation

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the certificate of incorporation and any list your buyer or authority in Sri Lanka gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.

  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

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the certificate of incorporation.

  4. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the certificate of incorporation, which the Sri Lanka High Commission requires before it will legalise it.

  5. Sri Lanka High Commission legalisation

    The High Commission of Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka.

What to send us

  • Name-change certificate, if any
  • Printed certificate of incorporation, certified as a true copy

  • Request letter on company letterhead
  • Certified Sinhala or Tamil translation, if the authority in Sri Lanka asks (we arrange it)

Avoid rejection
