Overview

When you need a legalised GST certificate in France

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.

European partners sometimes ask for apostilled licences and registrations as part of supplier due diligence.

In France, a legalised GST certificate is typically requested for supplier registration; it is also used for tenders and buyer due diligence.

The GST certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. France accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

France accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn French translation made in France; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.

    The GST certificate is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Tracked return
