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

To use your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) in Iran, it must undergo consular legalization, as Iran is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention. CFG Apostille provides expedited legalization for FDA certificates, including digital versions with FDA seals, with a processing time of 9 business days.

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

Start by requesting your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) — an official confirmation that your product meets FDA export and regulatory standards.

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

  • Available Formats: FDA issues both physical and digital certificates (with a digital seal).

  • Digital Certificate Acceptance: CFG Apostille accepts digital FDA certificates, allowing you to complete the process electronically without mailing hard copies.

2. Verify Legalization Requirements for Iran

Since Iran is not a Hague Convention member, your certificate requires consular legalization, not an apostille. This process validates the document through U.S. authorities and the Iranian consulate before use in Iran.

  • Confirm with Local Authorities: Contact the relevant Iranian regulatory or import authority to confirm legalization specifications.

  • Assistance Provided: CFG Apostille can verify requirements and ensure your document aligns with Iran’s import or regulatory submission standards.

3. Submit a Legalization Request to CFG Apostille

Once your FDA certificate is issued, you can request legalization directly through our website.

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

  • Payment: Securely process payment online.

  • Expedited Option: If selected, your request will be completed within 9 business days.

4. Provide Your Certificate (Digital or Physical)

CFG Apostille accepts both digital submissions and mailed certificates:

  • Digital Submission: Upload your digital FDA certificate (with FDA’s electronic seal) directly through our portal.

  • Physical Submission: Mail the original or a certified copy to:
    CFG Apostille
    1615 Bay Head Rd #120
    Annapolis, MD 21409, USA

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

After receiving your document, CFG Apostille submits it to the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications for legalization.
Mailing Address:
U.S. Department of State – Office of Authentications
600 19th Street NW, 2nd Floor
Washington, D.C. 20522-0022

Once processed, the legalized certificate is returned to CFG Apostille for final delivery.

6. Expedited Legalization Processing

We provide a 9-business-day expedited service, ensuring your FDA certificate is legalized and ready for use in Iran faster than standard government processing timelines.
All fees are clearly listed on our website for transparency.

7. Document Return and Delivery Options

Upon completion:

  • For Digital Certificates: The finalized legalized document is emailed to you.

  • For Physical Certificates: The legalized certificate is securely mailed to your chosen address.

8. Submitting the Legalized Certificate in Iran

Once you receive your legalized CFG, submit it to the relevant Iranian authority such as the Ministry of Health, customs, or import regulators.

  • Language Requirements: Certain authorities may require the document to be translated into Farsi by a certified translator.

  • Verification: Always confirm whether additional supporting documents are needed.

Important Notes

  • Legalization Required, Not Apostille: Iran is not a Hague member, so consular legalization is mandatory.
