When you need a legalised health certificate in Algeria
An export health certificate confirms that a consignment of food or animal products was inspected and is fit for human consumption. It is common for meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, honey and processed food. Health certificates for food and animal products are issued by the competent Indian authority for the product, such as export inspection or animal quarantine authorities.
Food imports into the Middle East are closely checked for health and halal compliance, so legalised certificates are usually requested with each consignment.
Companies dealing with Algeria are most often asked for a legalised health certificate during food import clearance, as well as for veterinary or food safety approval and retail and distributor registration.
A health certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Algeria accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Algeria joined the Apostille Convention in July 2026; confirm with us that your Algerian authority already accepts the apostille before you send documents.

Send a scan of the health certificate and any list your buyer or authority in Algeria gave you. We confirm the route, timeline and an all-inclusive quote.
Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the health certificate or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the health certificate.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
