Overview

Why the UAE 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.

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

Companies dealing with the UAE 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 Embassy of the UAE in New Delhi.

After the UAE mission in India legalises the document, most UAE authorities also require attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) after arrival, which your UAE partner usually completes. Many import invoices are now attested electronically by MOFA on the importer's side, so confirm with your buyer before attesting invoices in India.
