Why Pakistan asks for a legalised COPP
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.
Drug regulators across South-East and South Asia register many Indian medicines and typically ask for the regulatory certificates in a legalised form.
In Pakistan, 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Pakistan accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Step-by-step: COPP apostille for Pakistan
Send us a scan first
WhatsApp a scan of the COPP and tell us who in Pakistan will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.
Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the COPP or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the COPP.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
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
- Request letter on company letterhead (we share the format)
- Free sale certificate and product list, if the regulator asks for the full dossier
- Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate
- Original COPP for each product (one original per country)
Avoid rejection
- 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.
- Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
