Overview

GST certificate for Japan: 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.

Distributors and regulators in Asia often ask for legalised licences and registrations when approving a new Indian supplier.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Japan 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. Japan accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the GST certificate or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the GST certificate.

  4. MEA apostille

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

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.
