When you need a legalised trade or commercial licence in Kuwait
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 government tender portals in the Middle East often ask Indian suppliers for legalised registration documents before approving them as vendors.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Kuwait usually ask for a legalised trade or commercial licence for product registration by regulators, plant or supplier approval or tenders.
A trade or commercial licence 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 Kuwait in New Delhi.
The Kuwait Embassy may require submission through its appointed service centre in India, and documents are normally attested again by Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after arrival. We manage the India side end to end.
