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

If you intend to use your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) in Mauritania, the document must go through the consular legalization process. CFG Apostille provides full legalization support and expedited handling—your certificate can be legalized within 9 business days. Both physical and digitally sealed FDA certificates are accepted for processing.

1. Request the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government

Before legalization, you must first obtain the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG). This certificate verifies that the exported product meets FDA standards and can be legally distributed abroad.

  • Where to Apply: The request should be submitted through the [FDA Export Certification Application System].

  • Available Formats: FDA issues the certificate either as a printed document or in digital format with an official FDA seal.

  • Digital Submissions: CFG Apostille accepts electronically signed FDA certificates for legalization, eliminating the need to send physical papers.

2. Determine the Legalization Requirement for Mauritania

Mauritania is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning an apostille cannot be used. Instead, the certificate must be legally authenticated through consular channels before being accepted by Mauritania authorities.

Our team can confirm the exact documentation requirements and ensure the legalization is completed according to Mauritania’s import regulations.

3. Prepare and Submit the Legalization Request

After obtaining your FDA certificate, proceed with the legalization request through our website.

  • Submit Your Request: Complete the online form at cfgapostille.com.

  • Payment: Securely process your service payment online.

  • Processing Speed: Our expedited legalization service ensures completion in 9 business days.

4. Send Your Certificate to CFG Apostille

Depending on how you received your FDA certificate, you can send it in one of two formats:

  • Digital Submission: If you have a digitally sealed certificate, upload it directly to us.

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

5. Legalization at the U.S. Department of State

Once your document arrives, CFG Apostille submits it to the U.S. Department of State – Office of Authentications for federal legalization.

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

After the process is completed, the Department of State returns the legalized document to us for final delivery.

Fees and turnaround options are available on our website for transparency and planning.

7. Delivery of the Legalized Certificate

Once legalization is finalized, we forward the completed document to you based on the format submitted:

  • Digital files are returned electronically.

  • Physical certificates are shipped to your mailing address.

8. Submitting the Legalized Document in Mauritania

Some institutions may request supporting translations or additional paperwork, which should be verified in advance.
