Overview

When you need a legalised certificate of registration in South Africa

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 South Africa 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 and then apostilled by the MEA. South Africa accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Process

The South Africa process for an Indian certificate of registration

  1. Share your document and buyer's checklist

    Send a scan of the certificate of registration and any list your buyer or authority in South Africa 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 registration or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. 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.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Back to you

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

What to send us

  • Certificate of registration (firm, LLP, society, trust or Udyam)
  • Authorised partner or signatory ID
  • Partnership deed or LLP agreement, if requested
  • Request letter on letterhead

Avoid rejection

  • Make sure the signatory is a current partner or trustee.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • Use the current certificate showing the latest name and address.
  • Legalise the partnership deed or LLP agreement with it if asked.
