U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Documents Apostille & Legalization
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Digital / Online
Globalize your healthcare and food products with Federal Authentication. Documents issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are essential for international product registration and customs clearance. Because the FDA is a federal agency, these documents require a Federal Apostille from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
At US Apostille, we provide expedited services for all FDA-issued certifications, ensuring your products reach global markets without regulatory delays.
We Accept Digital FDA Certificates (PDF)
The FDA now issues many certificates electronically. We are fully equipped to process these digital documents, saving you the time and expense of shipping physical originals.
1. Digital (PDF) Submission - Fast & Seamless:
We accept FDA e-Certificates
This applies to Certificates of Free Sale (CFS) and Certificates to Foreign Governments (CFG) issued through the FDA’s electronic systems.
How to proceed: Simply upload the original PDF file downloaded from the FDA portal. We will verify it and manage the federal authentication process directly.
2. Physical (Original) Submission:
If your specific FDA branch only issues hard copies on security paper with embossed seals.
If the destination country (e.g., UAE, China, Kuwait) strictly requires a physical "wet-ink" certificate for Embassy Legalization.
In these cases, you will need to mail the physical certificate to our office.
