FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) Apostille for Use in Uruguay

When exporting FDA-regulated products to Uruguay, your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) must bear an apostille to be officially recognized. Since Uruguay is a Hague Convention member, the apostille process replaces consular legalization, simplifying international document use. The following guide explains each step to help you secure your apostilled certificate efficiently through cfgapostille.com.

1. Request the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG)

Begin by applying for the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government, which verifies that your product meets all U.S. FDA standards for export.

Note: cfgapostille.com accepts both physical and digital FDA certificates. Digital certificates can be processed directly online, eliminating the need for mailing.

2. Verify Apostille Requirement for Uruguay

Since Uruguay recognizes apostilles under the Hague Apostille Convention, documents authenticated by the U.S. Department of State are valid for use in Uruguay.
If you’re unsure whether your importing authority requires an apostille, cfgapostille.com can confirm this with Uruguayan regulatory bodies and ensure your FDA CFG meets all compliance standards.

3. Submit Apostille Request through cfgapostille.com

Once your FDA CFG is issued, proceed with the apostille request form on cfgapostille.com.

  • Fill out the Apostille Request Form on our website.
