Getting your product NAFDAC-registered
If you make, import or sell regulated consumables in Nigeria — food, drinks, water, drugs, cosmetics, supplements, chemicals — you need NAFDAC registration before you can legally sell. It is thorough (facility, product and documentation checks) and unprepared applications stall for months. This guide explains what NAFDAC registration involves, renewal, and how to avoid the common hold-ups.
Honest note: RenewPapers is not NAFDAC. Registration and the NAFDAC number are issued by the agency after its own assessment. What we do is prepare your facility and dossier to spec, submit correctly, and manage the process so it does not stall.
What the process involves
- Product category — food, drug, cosmetic, water, etc., each with its own requirements.
- Facility & documentation — premises inspection, product samples/analysis, and a documentation dossier.
- The NAFDAC number — issued on approval; required on your label and to sell.
- Renewal & compliance — registration is time-bound and renewed; ongoing compliance keeps it valid.
