COPP for Algeria: what and why
A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (COPP) confirms that a medicine is licensed in India, made in a GMP-compliant plant and sold by a named licence holder. It follows the WHO format, so drug regulators abroad can rely on it when they register an Indian product. The COPP is issued by CDSCO jointly with the State Licensing Authority, under the WHO Certification Scheme.
Health ministries in the Middle East register a large number of Indian generic medicines each year, and their registration files almost always include legalised regulatory certificates from India.
Companies dealing with Algeria are most often asked for a legalised COPP during new product registration with the drug regulator, as well as for renewal or variation of an existing registration and tender submissions by the local distributor.
The COPP issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Algeria accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Algeria joined the Apostille Convention in July 2026; confirm with us that your Algerian authority already accepts the apostille before you send documents.

How to get a COPP apostilled for Algeria
Confirm the requirement
Share the COPP and the instructions you received from Algeria. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.
Notary in India
The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the COPP.

The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

What to send us

- Original COPP for each product (one original per country)
- Certified Arabic or French translation, if the authority in Algeria asks (we arrange it)

Avoid rejection
- Keep product name, strength and pack size identical across the COPP, GMP certificate and free sale certificate.
- Check that the importing country printed on the COPP matches the country you are legalising for.
- Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
- Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.
