Certificate of registration for Portugal: 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.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Portugal usually ask for a legalised certificate of registration for supplier registration, bank and buyer due diligence or tenders and product registration.
A certificate of registration issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Portugal accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

A notary in India verifies the signature on the certificate of registration or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
The certificate of registration is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.
