When you need a legalised trade or commercial licence in Vietnam
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.
Distributors and regulators in Asia often ask for legalised licences and registrations when approving a new Indian supplier.
In Vietnam, 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 Vietnam in New Delhi.
In our processing experience, Indian commercial documents for Vietnam go through Vietnam Embassy legalisation, even though personal and educational documents can now be apostilled.
