MoCRA Listing Certificate for Cosmetic Companies
Professional informational verification of applicable cosmetic facility registration and product listing information for retailers, distributors, marketplaces, customers, and other business partners.
What Is a MoCRA Listing Certificate & Who Is It For?
A MoCRA Listing Certificate from FDA Registration Assistance is a private informational document that summarizes verified cosmetic facility registration and/or product listing information. Companies may use it when a retailer, distributor, marketplace, customer, or other business partner asks for a concise compliance document.
The underlying FDA records remain the actual regulatory submissions. The certificate does not create or replace a registration or listing, and it does not transform registration or listing into FDA approval.
- Prepared by FDA Registration Assistance — not by FDA.
- May summarize current facility registration and product listing information within the agreed scope.
- Can be used as a private business-support document for retailers, distributors, marketplaces, and partners.
- Does not constitute FDA approval, clearance, certification, or endorsement.
- Does not replace Form FDA 5066 facility registration or Form FDA 5067 product listing.
- Should be updated when underlying registration or listing information materially changes.

Frequently Asked Questions — MoCRA Listing Certificate
Current answers on private MoCRA verification documents, FDA's no-certificate position, facility registration, product listing, renewal timing, and business use.
+What is a MoCRA Listing Certificate?
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.
+Does FDA issue MoCRA registration or product listing certificates?
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.
+What does your MoCRA Listing Certificate verify?
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.
+Is a MoCRA Listing Certificate the same as FDA approval?
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.
+Who can request a MoCRA Listing Certificate?
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.
+Can the certificate be used with retailers or distributors?
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.
+Does the certificate include an FDA logo or seal?
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.
+What information do you need to prepare the certificate?
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.
+Can you issue a certificate if the facility registration is expired or due for renewal?
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.
+How often is cosmetic facility registration renewed?
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.
+How often are cosmetic product listings updated?
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.
+Does the certificate replace MoCRA facility registration or product listing?
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.
+Can you verify both facility registration and product listings?
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.
+What happens if the information changes after the certificate is prepared?
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.
+How much does a MoCRA Listing Certificate cost?
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.
+How do I get started?
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.
