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

To use your FDA Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) in Yemen, the document must go through the U.S. Department of State and the Embassy of Yemen for official legalization. Since Yemen is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, the apostille process does not apply. CFG Apostille provides expedited consular legalization, ensuring your document is fully legalized and ready for use in Yemen within 9 business days.

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

Before beginning the legalization process, you must obtain the official certificate from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

  • Request the Certificate: Submit your request through the FDA Export Certification Application System (FECAS).

  • Purpose: This certificate confirms that your product complies with FDA export regulations and is authorized for international trade.

  • Certificate Format: The FDA issues both physical and digital certificates.

  • Digital Acceptance: CFG Apostille accepts certificates with FDA digital seals directly in electronic format—no need for printed copies.

2. Verify Legalization Requirements for Yemen

Because Yemen has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille cannot be issued. Instead, the document must go through consular legalization to be recognized in Yemen.

  • Confirm with Authorities: Contact Yemen’s relevant authorities (embassy, consulate, or health regulators) to confirm if legalization is required for your certificate.

  • Assistance Available: CFG Apostille can coordinate this verification and ensure your documentation meets Yemen’s import and regulatory standards.

3. Preparing the Legalization Request

Once you’ve received your CFG, you can begin the legalization process through our online platform.

  • Submit the Legalization Request Form: Complete the form on cfgapostille.com.

  • Processing Time: Our expedited service finalizes your document within 9 business days.

  • Payment: Secure online payment is available for all legalization requests.

4. Submitting the FDA Certificate

You can submit either a digital or physical version of your CFG for legalization.

  • Digital Files: Send your digital FDA certificate (with seal) via email or upload.

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

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

After receiving your certificate, CFG Apostille handles the full legalization chain on your behalf.

  • The certificate is first authenticated by the U.S. Department of State – Office of Authentications:
    Address:
    U.S. Department of State
    Office of Authentications
    600 19th Street NW, 2nd Floor
    Washington, D.C. 20522-0022

Once the State Department completes authentication, the document is then submitted to the Embassy of Yemen for consular legalization.

6. Expedited Legalization Service

Our expedited option ensures your certificate is legalized and ready within 9 business days, faster than the typical 2–3 week timeframe.

  • Fast Turnaround: Ideal for time-sensitive trade or export submissions.

  • Service Fees: Detailed pricing is available on our website for both standard and expedited processing.

7. Completion and Delivery of Legalized Certificates

After legalization is completed, CFG Apostille returns the document to you promptly.

  • Digital Certificates: Returned electronically in PDF format.

  • Physical Certificates: Shipped via mail or courier, depending on your preference.

  • Processing Duration: The U.S. Department of State typically takes 7–15 business days, but our expedited service guarantees completion within 9 business days.

8. Submitting the Legalized CFG to Yemen Authorities

Once you receive your legalized FDA CFG, submit it to the appropriate Yemeni agencies—such as customs or regulatory departments—for import or product registration purposes.

  • Translation Requirements: Some Yemeni institutions may require an Arabic translation of the document. Confirm with the receiving authority.

  • Additional Documents: Include any supplementary certificates or supporting paperwork as required.

Additional Notes

  • Digital Acceptance: Digital FDA Certificates with secure electronic seals are fully accepted for legalization.

  • Consular Legalization Required: Since Yemen is not a Hague member, apostille certification is not applicable.

  • Guided Assistance: CFG Apostille handles each step to ensure full compliance with U.S. and Yemen documentation standards.
