Your buyer just asked for halal certification.
A Halal certificate your buyers can check in seconds.
We take you from that first email to an issued certificate — accepted in 180+ markets through our partner network, and re-audited every year.
The manufacturers who ship with the HCC Seal
Every brand here carries a certificate anyone can check.
Three steps to a Halal certificate anyone can check.
Most of the work is ours. Here's exactly what happens — and what you receive at each step.
- 1
You apply
About 5 minutes online to apply. We review what you send — free, no obligation — and come back with a quote. The full supporting documents (ingredients and raw-material specs) come later, only once you decide to go ahead.

We walk your floor
A real auditor visits your facility, and an independent committee makes the decision. If there are gaps, you get a clear fix list and time to close it.

You're certified — and anyone can check it
Your certificate goes live on verify.halalcc.org the day it's issued. You receive the HCC Seal, your certificate, and a public registry entry your buyers can look up in seconds.

Then we come back every year. The annual surveillance re-audit keeps your certificate live — so the status anyone sees on the registry is the status today.

Every HCC Seal carries a code. Check one yourself.
Type in a certificate number and see for yourself — what's certified, for whom, and until when. Your certificate does the talking: your buyers see the proof, not just the seal.
No account, nothing gated. Certificate IDs are printed on every HCC certificate and seal.
Can't find a certificate? Call us — we'll check it with you.
- Valid— live, in good standing, re-audited annually
- In audit— under review after a material change
- Suspended / Withdrawn— published too; that's the point
Behind every certificate is a real visit to a real floor.
Real auditors. Annual surveillance re-audits. Certificates anyone can check.
Whatever you make, we walk the floor where you make it.
Every industry has its own auditors and its own checklists — and the same annual care.
Real people decide — and you can call them.
One coordinator handles your file from application to certificate. And behind every decision sits a governance structure you can read for yourself.
The auditor never decides
The auditor who walks your floor never decides your file — an independent certification committee does. Audit and decision are structurally separated.
Impartiality policyNo consultancy conflicts
We don't consult for the companies we certify. Certification is only worth what its independence is worth.
Conflict-of-interest policyStanding Sharia board
Certification decisions rest on a standing Sharia board working alongside food-science audit leads — religious authority and technical rigor, side by side.
Governance & managementA public complaints channel
Anyone — client, buyer, or consumer — can raise a complaint or appeal, and the procedure for handling it is public.
Complaints & appealsBacked by a worldwide network of Halal authorities.
HCC holds direct cooperation agreements with national Halal authorities and coordination bodies. Through that partner network, an HCC certificate is recognized in the export markets your product ships to — including the GCC, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the EU.
