Electronic Submissions Gateway

“ESG is not able to accept VeriSign/Symantec certificates that have been issues after December 20, 2012. Symantec has changed the way they issue certificates on this date rendering them unusable with ESG. If you have a VeriSign certificate that was obtained before 12/20/2012 it will continue to work. We recommend that you obtain a certificate from another vendor if you are a new user or an existing user trying to renew your VeriSign certificate”

Background and Project Status

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Electronic Submissions Gateway (ESG) is an Agency-wide solution for accepting electronic regulatory submissions. The FDA ESG enables the secure submission of regulatory information for review.

Within that context, the FDA ESG is a conduit along which submissions travel to reach their final destination. It does not open or review submissions; it automatically routes them to the proper FDA Center or Office. <more...>
