Transition Programme

Three steps to your extended certificate

No re-certification from scratch. Your current certification is verified and carried over through a streamlined transfer.

1

Submit a transition request

Reach out to the AHF team with basic details about your current halal certification. We review the information and guide you through the next steps.

2

Submit your current certification documents

Share your existing halal certificate, latest audit report, and product list. We review them and confirm eligibility for a streamlined transfer.

3

Receive your extended AHF certification

Once approved, AHF issues your new certificate with complimentary coverage for the remainder of your current period plus an additional 12 months.

The AHF Transition Program requires that previous audit reports from an accredited certification body be shared in advance.
