A certificate of business activity shows that a company is registered in the trade registry and is active. It is requested for tender applications, overseas partnerships and export transactions.
The document is issued by the chamber of commerce or registry directorate and has a short validity period. Institutions generally require a copy obtained within the last three months, so it should be obtained close to the application date.
Which institutions request this document?
- Tendering authorities — for qualification assessments
- Foreign customs authorities
- Banks and financial institutions
- Counterparties in partnership and distribution negotiations
Certification requirements
Notarized translations are required for tenders and official applications.
An apostille is obtained for a document certified by the chamber or registry; it is issued by a provincial or district governor's office.
There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.
Preparing your document
- Obtain the document close to the application date
- Make sure the document includes the NACE activity codes
- Have it prepared together with the other documents in the tender file to establish a single delivery plan

For how many months is the document valid?
The requesting institution determines the period; the usual practice is the last three months.
