Why Germany asks for a legalised GST certificate
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.
Companies dealing with Germany are most often asked for a legalised GST certificate during supplier registration, as well as 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. Germany accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
