When you need a legalised trade or commercial licence in Libya
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.
In Libya, 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Libya in New Delhi.
Libyan buyers and authorities regularly ask for legalised certificates of origin, invoices and health certificates with each consignment.
