GMP certificate for Colombia: what and why
A GMP or WHO-GMP certificate confirms that a manufacturing plant follows good manufacturing practice. Foreign regulators treat it as core evidence of quality when they register Indian medicines, devices, cosmetics and food supplements. GMP and WHO-GMP certificates are issued by Indian drug regulatory authorities after inspecting the manufacturing site.
Regulators in Latin America register Indian medicines and commonly ask for apostilled regulatory documents with a Spanish or Portuguese translation.
In Colombia, a legalised GMP certificate is typically requested for product registration with drug regulators; it is also used for plant approval by importing authorities and tender qualification.
The GMP certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Colombia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

How to get a GMP certificate apostilled for Colombia
Confirm the requirement
Share the GMP certificate and the instructions you received from Colombia. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.
Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the GMP certificate 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 GMP certificate.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
Tracked return
