Don't forget to complete your FDA registration renewal before the end of the year if your establishment is registered with FDA. 

The renewal period runs from October 1 to December 31st annually, and all registered establishments are required to pay the renewal fee. The new fee will be announced by FDA each year.

To ensure a smooth renewal process, it's best to start organizing everything as early as possible and avoid procrastinating until the last minute, which could lead to complications. Learn more about Device Registration and Listing for Medical Devices. Learn more about Food Facilities Registration.


 

Here are a few tips that can make the process quick and relatively painless:

  • Locate the user names and passwords for the Medical Device User Fee website and the FDA Universal Registration and Listing System (FURLS). They are not the same! If you cannot locate them, you can get them reset. The earlier the better!
  • Log into the FURLS system and review all of the company information to ensure that it is correct. Update if necessary.
  • Make sure the official correspondent information is accurate, especially the email address. FDA communicates by email, so the renewal reminder will be sent to this email address.
  • If you do not receive this notice soon after Oct 1, then check spam or junk mail folders.
  • You do not have to receive the email in order to proceed with the renewal however, remember FDA may send other notifications to this email address, so ensure that it is correct.
  • Don’t wait until the last day to renew. Once the renewal payment is made it can take 2 -3 days to receive the Payment Confirmation Number that will allow the renewal to be completed in the FURLS website.
  • Credit card payments and electronic checks are processed much faster than mailing a payment.
