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

If you need to obtain legalization for your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) for use in Bahrain, follow the steps below. CFG Apostille offers expedited legalization services, ensuring your document is legalized in 9 business days. Additionally, we accept FDA Certificates with Digital Seals as digital files, making the process more convenient for you.

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

  • Request the FDA Certificate: First, request the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG), which certifies that your product complies with U.S. FDA regulations and is eligible for export.

  • Submit the Request: You can submit the request through the FDA Export Certification Application System: [FDA Export Certification Request].

  • Certificate Options: You will receive either a physical certificate or a digital certificate (with a digital seal).

FDA Digital Certificates: We accept FDA certificates with digital seals as digital files for legalization processing, allowing you to submit them without the need for physical documents.

2. Confirm Legalization Requirement for Bahrain

  • Verify Legalization Need: Bahrain does not participate in the Hague Convention for Apostille. Therefore, you will need to undergo the consular legalization process for your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) when submitting it for use in Bahrain.

  • Confirm Requirements: Confirm with Bahrain authorities (embassy, consulate, or regulatory agencies) that consular legalization is required for your FDA CFG.

  • If you’re unsure about the process, CFG Apostille can help confirm requirements and ensure your document complies with Bahrain import regulations.

3. Complete the Legalization Request

  • Once you have received your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government, proceed with the legalization request.

  • If you are using our expedited service, we will process your legalization within 9 business days.

  • Complete the Request Form: Fill out the legalization request form on our website: cfgapostille.com.

  • Payment: Secure payment for the legalization service can be made through our website.

4. Submit the FDA Certificate (Physical or Digital) to CFG Apostille

  • Digital Submission: If you have received a digital FDA certificate with a digital seal, you can submit it directly to us as a digital file.

  • Physical Submission: If you have a physical FDA certificate, you can mail the original or a certified copy to us at the following address:
    Mailing Address: CFG Apostille
    1615 Bay Head Rd #120, Annapolis, MD 21409, USA

5. Submission to the U.S. Department of State for Legalization

  • Submission Process: Once we receive your certificate, CFG Apostille will submit the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) to the U.S. Department of State for consular legalization.
    Mailing Address for U.S. Department of State: U.S. Department of State
    Office of Authentications
    600 19th Street NW, 2nd Floor
    Washington, D.C. 20522-0022
    The U.S. Department of State will process the legalization and return the legalized document to us.

7. Processing Time and Receipt of Legalized Certificate

  • Processing Time at the U.S. Department of State: Standard processing through the U.S. Department of State usually takes 7–15 business days. However, with our expedited service, your legalization will be completed within 9 business days.

  • Once legalized, the document will be sent back to CFG Apostille, and we will forward the legalized certificate to you.

Mailing the Legalized Certificate:

  • If you submitted a digital file, you will receive the legalized document in digital format.

  • If you submitted a physical certificate, we will mail the legalized certificate back to you.

8. Submit the Legalized CFG Certificate to Bahrain Authorities

After receiving the legalized certificate, you can submit it to the appropriate Bahrain authorities (customs, regulatory agencies, or other entities) for the importation of your product.

  • Ensure that the certificate meets any additional requirements, such as translations or extra documentation, as requested by Bahrain authorities.

Additional Notes:

  • FDA Digital Certificates: We accept FDA Certificates with Digital Seals as digital files, allowing for faster processing without the need for physical document submission.

  • Legalization vs. Apostille: Since Bahrain is not a member of the Hague Convention, an apostille is not applicable. Instead, consular legalization is required.

  • Translation: Some Bahrain authorities may require that the FDA certificate be translated into Arabic. Verify with the relevant authorities whether this is required for your specific case.
