Check your FEI number
Enter your FEI number for an instant format check, then verify it directly with FDA — takes about 2 minutes.
Verify it with FDA (2 minutes)
- Open FDA’s FEI Search Portal.
- Log in — or create a free FDA account.
- Search by your facility’s legal name and address to confirm the FEI on file.
Heads-up: only your own Cosmetics Direct account shows live registration status and renewal date. FDA doesn’t publish that publicly, so no website can look it up for you.
Where do I find my FEI number?
- The Cosmetics Direct account where your facility registration was filed — your FEI is your facility registration number. General information, not legal advice.
- Any FDA correspondence about your facility
Don’t have an FEI yet?
Email feiportal@fda.hhs.gov with your legal company name, physical address, facility contact person, and the activities at the facility. It takes about 7–10 business days. Then register the facility in Cosmetics Direct.
