When you need a legalised trade or commercial licence in Costa Rica
Licences prove that your business is allowed to manufacture or trade a product: municipal trade licences, factory licences, drug manufacturing licences, FSSAI licences and similar permits. Trade, factory, manufacturing, drug and FSSAI licences are issued by municipal, state or central authorities depending on the activity.
Buyers and agencies in the Americas may request apostilled licences when registering Indian suppliers.
In Costa Rica, a legalised trade or commercial licence is typically requested for product registration by regulators; it is also used for plant or supplier approval and tenders.
A trade or commercial licence issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Costa Rica accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
