About the fees
Two separate things are often confused. FDA user fees are set by FDA each fiscal year and paid to the U.S. Treasury — for example the annual device establishment fee and the OMUFA facility fee for OTC drugs. LMG service fees cover our preparation, filing and U.S. Agent work. Food facility registration and cosmetic facility registration carry no FDA user fee.Before you file
FDA Registration FAQs: Timelines, U.S. Agent & Renewals
How long does registration take?
Once we have complete information, most registrations are submitted within one to two business days. FDA's own processing time varies by programme — food facility registrations are typically confirmed immediately, while device listings and NDC labeler code requests can take longer.
Do I need a U.S. Agent?
Yes, if your facility is outside the United States. FDA requires a U.S. Agent as its point of contact for every foreign food, drug, device and cosmetic facility. The agent must have a physical U.S. address and be reachable during business hours. We provide this as part of our service.
What is a DUNS number and do I need one?
A DUNS number is a nine-digit business identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet, and FDA uses it to verify facility identity. It's free to obtain and required for most registrations. If you don't have one, tell us on the form and we'll guide you through the request.
When do I have to renew?
Food and cosmetic facility registrations renew every two years. Device establishment registration renews annually. Drug establishment registration and product listings must be reviewed and confirmed each year. We track your dates and remind you in advance.
I make more than one type of product. What then?
Each product category has its own registration programme, so a facility making both cosmetics and OTC drugs needs a filing under each. Send us the details and we'll map out what applies and quote for the set.
Can you fix a registration someone else filed incorrectly?
Yes. We regularly correct registrations with wrong establishment types, missing listings or lapsed U.S. Agent details. Send us your existing registration number and we'll review it.
