FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) Legalization for Use in South Sudan

To use your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) in South Sudan, it must go through the U.S. Department of State and the Embassy of South Sudan for consular legalization. Because South Sudan is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille cannot be issued. CFG Apostille provides expedited legalization in just 9 business days, with both digital and physical certificate submissions accepted.

Step 1: Request the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG)

Before you can begin the legalization process, you’ll need to obtain the original FDA CFG from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

  • How to Apply: Submit your request through the [FDA Export Certification Application System].

  • Purpose: The CFG confirms that your product meets U.S. FDA standards and is authorized for export.

  • Certificate Format: The FDA issues certificates either as printed originals or digitally signed copies with an FDA digital seal.

CFG Apostille accepts both physical and digital versions for legalization.

Step 2: Verify Legalization Requirements for South Sudan

South Sudan does not recognize apostilles under the Hague Convention.
All official U.S. export documents, including FDA Certificates, must go through full consular legalization.

  • Confirm the requirement with South Sudanese authorities (customs, Ministry of Health, or import agencies).

  • If you’re unsure about documentation procedures, CFG Apostille can confirm the exact requirements and handle every step for you.

Step 3: Submit Your Legalization Request

Once you have your FDA CFG ready, submit the legalization request through CFG Apostille.

  1. Complete the request form at cfgapostille.com.

  2. Upload your digital certificate or indicate that you’ll send a physical copy.

  3. Complete secure online payment for the legalization service.

Your document will be processed through both U.S. Department of State authentication and South Sudan Embassy legalization.

Step 4: Send Your Certificate to CFG Apostille

You can provide your document in either of the following ways:

  • Digital Submission: Email or upload your FDA digital certificate directly.

  • Physical Submission: Mail the original or a certified copy to:
    CFG Apostille
    1615 Bay Head Rd #120
    Annapolis, MD 21409, USA

Step 5: Legalization by the U.S. Department of State

After receiving your document, CFG Apostille will forward it to the U.S. Department of State, Office of Authentications for official legalization.

Address:
U.S. Department of State
Office of Authentications
600 19th Street NW, 2nd Floor
Washington, D.C. 20522-0022

Once processed, the authenticated certificate is returned to CFG Apostille for embassy submission.

Step 6: Embassy of South Sudan Legalization

The authenticated FDA certificate is then legalized by the Embassy of South Sudan in Washington, D.C.
This final stamp validates your document for official use within South Sudan’s customs, trade, or health regulatory systems.

Step 7: Processing Time and Delivery

  • Standard Processing: 7–15 business days via the Department of State.

  • CFG Apostille Expedited Service: Completed in 9 business days.

  • Return Options:

    • Digital delivery for electronic submissions.

    • Courier or postal return for physical certificates.

All orders are tracked, and you’ll receive notifications throughout the process.

Step 8: Submit Legalized Documents in South Sudan

After legalization, submit your FDA Certificate to the relevant South Sudan authority — typically the Ministry of Health, customs department, or import control agency.

Some agencies may require a translation into Arabic, depending on the nature of your product. Verify this before submission to avoid delays.
