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

To use your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) in Mozambique, it must go through the consular legalization process, as Mozambique is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. CFG Apostille provides fast and reliable legalization services, finalizing your document in 9 business days. Digital FDA certificates with official seals are also accepted, allowing full electronic submission without mailing physical copies.

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

Start by requesting your CFG from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

  • Where to apply: Submit the request through the FDA Export Certification Application System at access.fda.gov.

  • Certificate format: The FDA may issue your CFG either as a physical copy or a digital certificate with an electronic seal.

  • Digital acceptance: CFG Apostille processes both formats, allowing full legalization from digital files when available.

2. Confirm Legalization Requirements for Mozambique

Because Mozambique is not a Hague member, apostilles are not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized by the Embassy of Mozambique in Washington, D.C.
CFG Apostille handles all these steps to ensure the document fully meets Mozambican regulatory standards for import, registration, or customs clearance.

3. Submit Your Legalization Request

Once you receive your FDA CFG:

  • Fill out the legalization request form on cfgapostille.com.

  • Choose expedited service for processing in 9 business days.

  • Complete payment securely through the website to initiate the order.

4. Send Your FDA Certificate to CFG Apostille

You can submit your document in one of two ways:

  • Digital submission: Email or upload your FDA certificate with a verified digital seal.

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

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

Once received, CFG Apostille will forward your document to the U.S. Department of State, Office of Authentications, for official verification.
Address:
U.S. Department of State
Office of Authentications
600 19th Street NW, 2nd Floor
Washington, D.C. 20522-0022
After authentication, the certificate will be returned for submission to the Embassy of Mozambique.

6. Legalization by the Embassy of Mozambique

After federal authentication, the document is submitted to the Embassy of Mozambique in Washington, D.C. for consular legalization. This final certification confirms that your FDA CFG is valid and recognized for official use within Mozambique.

7. Processing Time and Delivery

  • Standard timeframe: The U.S. Department of State typically requires 7–15 business days.

  • Expedited timeframe: CFG Apostille completes full legalization within 9 business days.

  • Delivery method:

    • Digital documents are returned via secure electronic delivery.

    • Physical certificates are shipped back once legalization is finalized.

8. Submitting the Legalized CFG in Mozambique
