Overview

GST certificate for Iraq: what and why

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 government tender portals in the Middle East often ask Indian suppliers for legalised registration documents before approving them as vendors.

In Iraq, 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Iraq in New Delhi.

Iraqi authorities often ask for the commercial invoice and certificate of origin to be legalised together for every shipment.

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the GST certificate, which the Iraq Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

  5. Iraq Embassy legalisation
