Why Seychelles asks for a legalised health certificate
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 African markets are checked against health requirements, and legalised certificates help clear consignments without delay.
Companies dealing with Seychelles 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. Seychelles accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

The Seychelles process for an Indian health certificate
Send us a scan first
WhatsApp a scan of the health certificate and tell us who in Seychelles will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.
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.
Back to you
The finished health certificate is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Seychelles.
