MoCRA Listing Certificate for Cosmetic Companies

A MoCRA Listing Certificate from FDA Registration Assistance is a private informational verification document prepared from the cosmetic facility registration and product listing information available for the client. It is not issued, approved, certified, or endorsed by FDA.

No. FDA expressly states that cosmetic product facility registration and product listing are not approval programs or promotional tools and that FDA does not issue certificates for cosmetic facility registrations or product listings.

The document can summarize the facility or responsible-person information, applicable FDA facility registration status, FEI, cosmetic product listing information, and other verified details available within the agreed scope. The exact content depends on the records reviewed.

No. Neither cosmetic facility registration nor cosmetic product listing constitutes FDA approval, clearance, certification, endorsement, or a determination that a cosmetic product is safe or compliant in every respect.

A cosmetic company, facility, responsible person, importer, distributor, retailer, or other business partner may request professional verification documentation when it needs a concise summary of applicable MoCRA registration and listing information.

It may be used as a private business-support document when a retailer, distributor, marketplace, customer, or other partner requests evidence or a summary of MoCRA-related registration and listing information. It should always be presented as a document prepared by FDA Registration Assistance, not as an FDA certificate.

No. Because FDA does not issue these certificates, our document should not use FDA branding in a way that implies issuance, approval, certification, or endorsement by the agency.

We typically need the company or facility name, FEI when applicable, responsible-person information, cosmetic product listing numbers or submission information when applicable, and any supporting registration or listing records needed to verify the information.

We first review the underlying registration status. If the record is not current, we may recommend completing the required biennial facility registration renewal or other correction before preparing current verification documentation.

Covered cosmetic product facilities must renew their FDA registration every two years from the date of initial registration. FDA's current Cosmetics Direct system displays registration status and renewal date.

The responsible person must provide updates to a cosmetic product listing annually. FDA also provides an abbreviated renewal option when the product listing information has not changed.

No. The certificate is only a private informational document. It does not create, renew, amend, or replace an FDA facility registration or cosmetic product listing.

Yes. Depending on the engagement, we can review both the facility-registration information and applicable cosmetic product-listing information and prepare a verification document that accurately distinguishes the two.

The certificate reflects the information reviewed at the time it is prepared. If facility registration, responsible-person, product listing, brand, address, or other relevant information changes, a new or updated verification document may be appropriate.

Pricing is provided by custom quote because the scope depends on the number of facilities, products, records to verify, and the type of verification documentation requested.

Send us the company or facility name, FEI if applicable, responsible-person information, product listing details, and any existing FDA registration or listing records. We will review the scope and provide a custom quote.
