Flat fee certification. No renewal treadmill.
Most certifiers charge annually and add audit fees on top. GHC charges once, covers five years, and keeps the optional directory listing separate so you only pay for what you use.

Pricing questions
How much does halal certification cost?
A GHC halal certificate is a one-off $497 USD and stays valid for five years. There are no annual renewal fees and no per-audit charges.
How quickly will I get my certificate?
Most certificates are issued within three working days from the moment we have your full ingredient documentation.
Do you certify products that contain meat?
Yes, provided the meat you use is already halal certified by a recognised body. We certify the finished product, not the slaughter process.
Do you certify butchers or slaughterhouses?
No. Butchery and slaughter operations are outside our scope and need a slaughter-focused certification body.
Can restaurants be certified?
Yes, if the restaurant serves no pork and no alcohol, and all meat products used are already halal certified.
What is the Halal Certified directory?
For $47 per month your certified company is listed in our public directory, where buyers, importers and retailers search for halal suppliers by category and country.
