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

To use an FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) in Egypt, the document must go through consular legalization since Egypt is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. CFG Apostille provides a fast-track legalization service that ensures your FDA certificate is authenticated and ready for submission within 9 business days. Both physical and digital certificates (with FDA digital seals) are accepted.

1. Request Your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government

Before starting the legalization process, you must first obtain the FDA Certificate.

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

  • Purpose of the Certificate: The CFG confirms that your product complies with U.S. FDA standards and is authorized for export.

  • Certificate Formats: The FDA may issue your certificate as either a physical copy or a digitally sealed version.

  • Digital Acceptance: CFG Apostille can process FDA certificates with official digital seals directly from electronic files.

2. Determine Legalization Requirements for Egypt

Because Egypt does not recognize the apostille system, your CFG must be legalized through consular channels.

  • Process Type: The legalization process involves authentication by the U.S. Department of State and the Embassy or Consulate of Egypt.

  • Regulatory Confirmation: Before proceeding, verify with the relevant Egyptian authorities (such as import or health regulators) that legalization is required.

  • Assistance Available: CFG Apostille can confirm the specific requirements for your certificate and guide you through every step.

3. Prepare and Submit the Legalization Request

Once your FDA certificate is issued, submit a request for legalization through CFG Apostille’s online platform.

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

  • Payment: Complete secure online payment for the service.

  • Processing Time: With our expedited option, your document is legalized within 9 business days.

4. Provide the FDA Certificate to CFG Apostille

You can submit either a digital or physical version of your FDA certificate:

  • Digital Submission: Email or upload the digitally sealed FDA certificate directly to us.

  • Mailing Option: For physical certificates, send the original or a certified copy to:
    CFG Apostille
    1615 Bay Head Rd #120
    Annapolis, MD 21409, USA

5. Authentication by the U.S. Department of State

After receipt, CFG Apostille submits your document to the U.S. Department of State – Office of Authentications for federal legalization.
Mailing Address:
U.S. Department of State
