FDA export certificate: what we check before the apostille

We do not file with the FDA

Apostille de la Haya is the trade name of Riveros International Business Corp, a private company registered in Florida. We are not the FDA, the U.S. Department of State or an embassy, and none of them endorses us.

We handle the apostille of the FDA export certificate your company already received. We do not prepare or submit FDA applications, and we have no say in FDA decisions.

The FDA and the Department of State each act on their own, and you can deal with both directly. Our fees come on top of the official fees.

Before you ship the original

Three questions about your FDA export certificate

Which certificate is it?

A CFG, a CPP and a Certificate of Exportability state different things, and the receiving authority usually names the one it wants.

Paper or PDF?

Device certificates have been electronic since January 2024. The FDA says their apostilles and authentications must be printed in color.

Where is it going?

A Hague member accepts an apostille. The UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt and Iraq require legalization at their embassy instead.

Electronic certificates

An electronic FDA export certificate needs a color print

Since January 2, 2024, the FDA device center issues export documents as downloadable PDFs. Foreign governments can check them online through the FDA’s export certificate validator.

The same FDA notice adds a practical rule: apostilles and authentications of these certificates must be printed in color to be valid. So a black-and-white printout is an avoidable delay.

CPPs and food certificates also come electronically. For those, we review your copy first and confirm the route in writing before you pay.

A copy of the certificate first, plus the destination country. We reply with the route, the format the office needs and a written quote.

For device certificates, yes: the FDA states that their apostilles and authentications must be printed in color to be valid. For other types, we review your copy and confirm the route in writing.

No. The FDA states that a CPP expires two years after issue, so check the date before you file.

No. Your company applies through the FDA’s own systems. We handle the apostille or legalization of the certificate you received.

Those countries are not Hague members, so they require legalization. We handle document legalization for the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt and Iraq as a separate service.
