Overview

When you need a legalised GST certificate in the Maldives

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.

Companies dealing with the Maldives 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, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of the Maldives in New Delhi.
