APEDA Registration process is simple and hassle-free. The applicant has to submit an application form to get registered under APEDA within one month from the date of undertaking the business. In the case the exporter fails to register in the given time limit provided there is sufficient cause, the timeline can be extended only by the Authority.

Once the application is duly submitted and the applicant pays the fees, the concerned authority will generate a Registration-cum-Membership-Certificate (RCMC). This is a one-time registration, and the rules and regulations under the APEDA Act govern and regulate the registered members.
