Why Seychelles 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.
Africa is one of the largest markets for Indian generic medicines, and national regulators generally require legalised COPPs, GMP and free sale certificates for product registration.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Seychelles usually ask for a legalised COPP for new product registration with the drug regulator, renewal or variation of an existing registration or 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. Seychelles accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

How to get a COPP apostilled for Seychelles
Send us a scan first
WhatsApp a scan of the COPP and tell us who in Seychelles 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.
Back to you
The finished COPP is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Seychelles.
What to send us
- Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate
- Original COPP for each product (one original per country)
- Free sale certificate and product list, if the regulator asks for the full dossier
- Request letter on company letterhead (we share the format)
Avoid rejection
- Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.
- Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
- 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.
