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

When exporting FDA-regulated products to Algeria, the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) must go through consular legalization since Algeria is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. CFG Apostille provides a secure and expedited legalization process, finalizing in 9 business days, with full acceptance of both digital and physical certificates.

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

To begin, request the FDA Certificate confirming that your product complies with all applicable U.S. FDA standards for export.

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

  • Certificate Types: The FDA issues either a printed document or a digitally signed version with an official FDA digital seal.

  • Digital Option Advantage: Digital certificates can be uploaded directly to CFG Apostille — no mailing required.

Step 2: Verify Algeria’s Legalization Process

Since Algeria has not joined the Hague Convention, apostilles are not accepted. Instead, your certificate must undergo the U.S. Department of State and Algerian Embassy legalization process.

  • Confirm Requirements: Always verify with the Algerian Ministry of Health, customs, or import authorities whether additional authentication or translation steps are needed.

  • Professional Support: CFG Apostille assists with requirement confirmation to ensure compliance with Algeria’s import documentation standards.

Step 3: Apply for Legalization Through CFG Apostille

Once your CFG is issued, initiate the legalization procedure through our website.

  • Submit the Online Form: Complete the legalization request at cfgapostille.com.

  • Processing Time: Legalization is completed in 9 business days under our expedited service.

  • Payment Method: Pay securely online during submission.

Step 4: Send Your Certificate (Digital or Paper)

  • Digital Submissions: FDA certificates with a verified digital seal can be submitted electronically to CFG Apostille.

  • Physical Submissions: Original or certified hard copies should be mailed to:
    CFG Apostille
    1615 Bay Head Rd #120, Annapolis, MD 21409, USA

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

CFG Apostille will forward your certificate to the U.S. Department of State, Office of Authentications, for formal legalization before embassy submission.
Address:
U.S. Department of State
Office of Authentications
600 19th Street NW, 2nd Floor
Washington, D.C. 20522-0022

Upon completion, the legalized document will be returned to us for delivery.

Step 6: Expedited Legalization Option

Our 9-business-day expedited service ensures your certificate is processed ahead of standard timeframes, helping exporters meet urgent shipping or regulatory deadlines.

  • Fast Turnaround: Prioritized handling through federal and embassy channels.

  • Service Cost: Pricing is available on our website for transparency and convenience.

Step 7: Delivery of Legalized Certificate

After U.S. Department of State and Algerian Embassy processing:

  • Digital Certificates: Legalized documents will be delivered electronically.

  • Physical Certificates: Original legalized papers will be shipped back to the client’s address.

Step 8: Submission to Algerian Authorities

Present the finalized document to the relevant Algerian agency (customs, health authorities, or import office) to validate your export.
Ensure any required Arabic translations or supporting materials are attached before submission.
