Certificate of registration for China: what and why
Not every business is a company. Partnership firms, LLPs, proprietorships with MSME (Udyam) registration, societies and trusts prove their legal existence with a registration certificate. Registration certificates for partnership firms, LLPs, societies, trusts and MSMEs are issued by the relevant Indian registrar or portal.
Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.
Companies dealing with China are most often asked for a legalised certificate of registration during supplier registration, as well as for bank and buyer due diligence and tenders and product registration.
A certificate of registration 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.
