When you need a legalised certificate of registration in Kenya
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.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Companies dealing with Kenya 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 High Commission of Kenya in New Delhi.
