Certificate of Analysis Authentication for International Use

Purpose of Authentication

A certificate of analysis must be authenticated to be accepted by foreign authorities, customs offices, and regulatory agencies. Authentication confirms the issuing authority and signature validity so the certificate of analysis is legally recognized outside the United States.

Required Steps

• Notarization
  The certificate of analysis must be properly signed and notarized when required before submission.

• State Authentication
  The notarized certificate is certified by the Secretary of State when applicable.

• U.S. Department of State Processing
  Federal processing is completed when required for international use.

• Apostille or Embassy Legalization
  The final step depends on the destination country’s requirements.

Important Notes / Requirements

• Original, finalized certificates of analysis are typically required.

• Notarization must be complete and accurate if requested by the receiving authority.

• Inconsistent data, missing signatures, or altered results commonly cause delays.

• A certificate of analysis example must still be properly issued and executed to be eligible.
