Overview

GST certificate for Somalia: 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.

Tender authorities and importers in Africa frequently ask Indian suppliers for legalised licences and registration certificates.

In Somalia, 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 Somalia in New Delhi.
