What These Documents Are
An FDA or USDA certified letter is an official federal document issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) — including USDA's APHIS, FSIS, and AMS agencies — documenting the regulatory status, inspection result, free sale eligibility, or export clearance of a U.S.-manufactured product, ingredient, or facility. These letters are signed by federal officials at the issuing agency and bear the agency's official letterhead and seal.
Foreign governments, foreign regulators, and overseas business partners require these letters to be federally apostilled by the U.S. Department of State so the issuing federal agency's signature and seal can be legally recognized abroad. Without proper authentication, FDA and USDA letters cannot satisfy foreign regulatory or registration requirements.
The sample image at the top of this page shows an FDA Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) Closeout Letter, one of the most commonly apostilled FDA letter types.
