Is a NAFDAC number printed on a label enough to prove a product is registered?
No. A printed number can be copied or misused. Use NAFDAC's official verification service and compare the returned product and registration-holder information with the item in front of you.

How do I renew an older NAFDAC registration that is missing from NAPAMS?
NAFDAC's online workflow provides a data-capture route for legacy products that are not yet present in the applicant's product listing. Bring the old record into the online system first, then use the renewal workflow rather than creating an unnecessary duplicate product.

Is there one NAFDAC registration fee for every kind of product?
No. Charges depend on the product category and application. Use NAFDAC's current services/fee information and the invoice generated by the official application rather than relying on an old price shared by an agent.
