Food facility registrations must be renewed biennially during October-December of every even-numbered year. Missing the deadline results in the registration becoming inactive which can halt your ability to import or sell food in the U.S. We track every deadline so you never miss one.

Registration Amendments & Ownership Transitions
Facility address changes or new product categories are filed as registration amendments within 60 days. A change in ownership works differently: the previous owner must cancel the registration and the new owner must submit a brand-new one. We manage both sides of that transition so there’s no gap in active registration.
- Ownership transition (cancellation & new registration)
- Facility address amendments
- Product category changes
- Emergency cancellation support

No. U.S. Agent renewal is annual, while facility registration renews biennially. We manage both on their separate timelines.
Not as a simple amendment. FDA requires the previous owner to cancel the registration and the new owner to submit a new one. We handle both steps.
An inactive registration can halt your ability to import or sell food in the U.S. until a new or renewed registration is confirmed.
