The FDA Requirement for each type of registration is different; for food facilities, the FDA registration number for the manufacturer is mandatory and will get the registration number immediately after the registration is complete. But for Drug and Medical device establishments, the FDA registration number is not compulsory. Still, the establishments must complete the registration.
