You are an entrepreneur looking to internationalize your business or an exporter looking to export your products across borders.

Vedic Global Services, a leading company offering document attestation and legalization services in India, makes this daunting task silky smooth, compliant, and timely for you.
In this step-by-step guide, we will dissect each step of the Chamber of Commerce attestation process, describe the significance of a business registration certificate (offline and online both), define the use of export documents, and explain why Vedic Global Services is the ideal partner to assist your business through each step of the process.
What Is the Chamber of Commerce Attestation Process?
Chamber of Commerce attestation is a legal verification process of business documents for trade with foreign nations. It is usually the first obligatory step before the submission of the documents with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or respective embassies for additional authentication.
The Chamber of Commerce checks that the documents presented are related to a genuine business registered in India. The following documents are generally subject to this check:
Business registration certificate
Memorandum and Articles of Association
Power of Attorney
Board Resolutions
Commercial invoices
Agreements and contracts
Other export documents
The certification by the Chamber gives legal authenticity and facilitates easy acceptance of these documents by foreign government authorities. In the absence of such certification, these documents are not accepted for processing by the majority of countries.
Why do I need a Business Registration Certificate?
A business registration certificate is an official document that attests to the fact that your business is legally registered according to Indian law. Regardless of whether you are dealing in foreign businesses, making international bank accounts, or issuing tenders overseas, you require a business registration certificate. It attests to your business’s legal status and existence.
Due to online regulation, it is even possible to download your business registration certificate online from government website portals like that of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Clients are assisted by Vedic Global Services in authenticating and processing offline and business registration certificates in online formats so they can be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce.
What is Export Documentation?
Export documents are all the documents needed in the case of exporting goods abroad. This typically consists of a commercial invoice, packing list, shipping bill, certificate of origin, bill of lading, etc. All countries importing these documents need to be legalized to make the export and exporter valid.
In India, the Chamber of Commerce is one of the oldest organizations to verify such documents. Without it, your shipment will be delayed unnecessarily or rejected at the foreign ports.
