    Authority portal

    Step-by-step

    1. Step 01

      Appoint local representation

      Most jurisdictions require a locally-established entity to hold the registration or act as authorised representative before submission.

    2. Step 02

      Reuse FDA or CE package as baseline

      Adapt the cybersecurity subsection you already prepared for FDA or CE; regulators here typically accept the structure and ask for local labeling additions.

    3. Step 03

      Translate and localise

      Local-language technical summary and labeling are usually mandatory; certified translation is safest.

    4. Step 04

      Submit + track queries

      Respond to clarification rounds promptly; each unanswered question can add 30-90 days to the clock.
