Halal Certificate – Embassy Legalization & Authentication for Arab Countries

At the Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, located in Washington D.C., we offer fast and reliable embassy legalization services for Halal Certificates issued in the United States. If you're exporting food, meat, poultry, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals to Arab countries, your Halal Certificate must be properly authenticated and legalized to meet strict import and compliance requirements.

We simplify the complex process of verifying and legalizing your Halal documentation, ensuring your products are recognized and accepted in Muslim-majority countries across the Middle East and North Africa.

What is a Halal Certificate?

A Halal Certificate is an official document issued by a recognized Islamic authority or certifying body, confirming that a product:

• Contains no prohibited (haram) ingredients
  
  

• Was prepared and handled in compliance with Islamic law
  
  

• Is permissible for Muslim consumption or use
  
  

Halal certificates are mandatory for many categories of goods exported to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and other members of the Arab League, especially those involving meat, gelatin, food additives, and cosmetics.

Do You Need to Legalize a Halal Certificate?

Yes. Most Arab nations require that a U.S.-issued Halal Certificate be:

• Issued by a recognized Halal certifying body
  
  

• Authenticated by the U.S. Department of State
  
  

• Legalized by the embassy of the destination country
  
  

Without proper legalization, your Halal Certificate may be rejected, leading to customs clearance issues, product delays, or even shipment refusal.
