When you need a legalised COPP in Iran
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.
In Iran, a legalised COPP is typically requested for new product registration with the drug regulator; it is also used for renewal or variation of an existing registration and tender submissions by the local distributor.
The COPP issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Iran in New Delhi.

The Iran process for an Indian COPP
Send us a scan first
WhatsApp a scan of the COPP and tell us who in Iran will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the COPP.
Ministry of External Affairs
The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the COPP, which the Iran Embassy requires before it will legalise it.
Iran Embassy legalisation
The Embassy of Iran in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.
Tracked return
We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.
What to send us
- Certified Persian (Farsi) translation, if the authority in Iran asks (we arrange it)
- Free sale certificate and product list, if the regulator asks for the full dossier
- Request letter on company letterhead (we share the format)
- Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate
- Original COPP for each product (one original per country)
Avoid rejection
- Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Iran Embassy compares names across the set.
- Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.
- 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.
