When you need a legalised GST certificate in Canada
The GST registration certificate shows your GSTIN, legal name and place of business. Overseas buyers and tender authorities use it to verify that your business is active and tax-registered in India. The GST registration certificate is downloaded from the GST portal and certified by the authorised signatory.
Buyers and agencies in the Americas may request apostilled licences when registering Indian suppliers.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Canada usually ask for a legalised GST certificate for supplier registration, tenders or buyer due diligence.
The GST certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Canada accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Canada has accepted the apostille since January 2024, replacing consular legalisation.
