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

For U.S. exporters planning to ship FDA-regulated products to Myanmar, it’s essential to have the FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) properly legalized before use. Because Myanmar is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, apostilles are not accepted — instead, documents must go through the consular legalization process. CFG Apostille provides professional, expedited legalization services, ensuring your FDA certificate is fully legalized and ready for submission within 9 business days. Digital FDA certificates with official seals are accepted for online submission to simplify your process.

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

Begin by obtaining the CFG directly from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

  • Application process: Apply through the FDA Export Certification Application System at access.fda.gov.

  • Available formats: The FDA may issue your certificate as a printed document or a digitally signed PDF.

  • Digital acceptance: CFG Apostille processes digital FDA certificates with official seals electronically — no need to ship physical papers.

2. Confirm Legalization Requirements for Myanmar

Myanmar is not part of the Hague Convention (Apostille Treaty), so your document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized by the Embassy of Myanmar in Washington, D.C.
CFG Apostille ensures each step complies with Myanmar’s import documentation policies, preventing any rejection by local health or trade authorities.

3. Submit Your Legalization Request

Once your FDA CFG is ready:

  • Complete the legalization request form on cfgapostille.com.

  • Select expedited processing to have your legalization completed within 9 business days.

  • Pay securely through the website to confirm your order.

4. Send Your FDA Certificate to CFG Apostille

Choose one of the following submission options:

  • Digital submission: Send your FDA certificate with its digital seal electronically to CFG Apostille.

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

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

After receiving your document, CFG Apostille will present it to the U.S. Department of State, Office of Authentications, for official federal authentication.
Mailing address:
U.S. Department of State
Office of Authentications
600 19th Street NW, 2nd Floor
Washington, D.C. 20522-0022
After authentication, the document is returned to CFG Apostille for the next step of legalization.

6. Legalization by the Embassy of Myanmar

Following federal authentication, your document will be submitted to the Embassy of Myanmar in Washington, D.C. for final legalization. This final step certifies that your FDA CFG is valid for use in Myanmar for trade, regulatory submissions, and customs clearance.

7. Processing Time and Delivery

  • Standard timeline: The U.S. Department of State’s standard processing time is 7–15 business days.

  • Expedited timeline: CFG Apostille’s expedited option completes the entire process in 9 business days.

  • Delivery:

    • Digital submissions are returned via secure electronic delivery.

    • Physical certificates are mailed back once the legalization is finalized.

8. Submitting the Legalized CFG to Myanmar Authorities

Once you receive the legalized CFG, it can be submitted to relevant government bodies such as the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Health, or customs offices in Myanmar. Be sure to verify if translations or supplementary documentation (e.g., product lists or import forms) are required to accompany your legalized certificate. CFG Apostille can assist in confirming these details for smooth acceptance.
