Good reasons to switch
- Cost: your agent charges separately for registration, renewal or each change.
- No answers: FDA messages or inspection requests are not passed on quickly.
- Your buyer is your agent: you change customers and want an independent agent.
- The renewal deadline: food facility registrations must be renewed by December 31, 2026, and many companies review their agent at the same time.
What to send us
- Your FDA food facility registration number
- The registration PIN, if you have it
- Your D-U-N-S number
- Your facility details: name, address, contacts and product categories
- Who holds the FDA account your registration was filed in, if you know
How the switch works
- Order and send your details. One short form, and the order reference from checkout.
- We check your registration. We confirm your D-U-N-S record matches and work out how to get access to your current registration.
- We file the change, or the renewal. Regovant LLC is named as your U.S. Agent, and we confirm the agent role when FDA asks.
- You get confirmation and a Regovant certificate of registration that your buyers can verify online.
Questions
Do I need to tell my old agent first?
Not before you order. Once the registration names Regovant, FDA contacts us instead. Check your old agent's contract for any notice period so you are not billed again.
Will my FDA registration number change?
Not if we can update your existing registration. If no one can access the account that holds it, a new registration may be needed, which gets a new number. We tell you before we file.
Can I switch outside the renewal period?
Yes. You can change your U.S. Agent at any time. Renewal is simply the easiest moment, because the details are reviewed anyway.
Does switching cause problems with my shipments?
No, as long as your registration stays valid and the U.S. Agent confirms. We file and confirm before telling you it is done.
Can you switch cosmetic, device or drug registrations too?
Yes. Cosmetic, medical device and drug registrations with U.S. Agent service are $369 a year.
