Overview

When you need a legalised chamber or export council membership certificate in the UAE

Membership of a chamber of commerce or an export promotion council shows that your business is an established, recognised exporter. Foreign buyers and authorities sometimes ask for the membership certificate or RCMC when registering suppliers. Membership certificates are issued by Indian chambers of commerce and export promotion councils (for example the RCMC).

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

In the UAE, a legalised chamber or export council membership certificate is typically requested for supplier registration; it is also used for tenders and exporter verification by buyers.

A chamber or export council membership 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.
