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

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.
-
