When you need a legalised COPP in Turkey
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.
European regulators and importers may ask for apostilled regulatory documents when an Indian manufacturer supplies medicines, APIs or devices.
In Turkey, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by TİTCK. Legalised documents from India are typically part of the file for new product registration with the drug regulator, 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. Turkey accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Turkey accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn Turkish translation made in Turkey; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.

The Turkey process for an Indian COPP
Confirm the requirement
Share the COPP and the instructions you received from Turkey. 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.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

The finished COPP is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Turkey.
What to send us
- Certified Turkish translation, if the authority in Turkey asks (we arrange it)
- Original COPP for each product (one original per country)
- Request letter on company letterhead (we share the format)
- Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate
- Free sale certificate and product list, if the regulator asks for the full dossier
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.
- Check that the importing country printed on the COPP matches the country you are legalising for.
- Keep product name, strength and pack size identical across the COPP, GMP certificate and free sale certificate.
