Overview

Why Qatar asks for a legalised trade or commercial licence

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 Qatar, 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 Qatar in New Delhi.

After Qatar Embassy legalisation in New Delhi, Qatari authorities generally also want the document attested by Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after arrival, which your Qatari partner arranges locally.
