Why the Philippines 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.
Distributors and regulators in Asia often ask for legalised licences and registrations when approving a new Indian supplier.
Authorities, banks and business partners in the Philippines 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. The Philippines accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
