4,815 drug sites outside the U.S. with a current FDA registration, read on 26 October 2026 from FDA's Drug Registration and Listing System file.

Each row has the address, FDA's operations, the FEI and DUNS numbers, the registrant, the contact name and email, and the site's U.S. agent.

## The figures

- Coverage: 81 countries outside the U.S.
- Fields: 36
- Price: $29 one-time, CSV download, commercial license (https://locationlists.com/license)

The file has all 4,815 locations in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

## Questions

### Which sites are in it?

Every site outside the U.S. with a current registration in FDA's drug registration file on 26 October 2026. One row is one DUNS number, the unit FDA registers.

### What is the U.S. agent?

FDA requires every foreign drug site to name an agent in the U.S. The usAgent column has the agent's DUNS, name and email as FDA publishes them.

### How are the addresses split?

FDA writes a foreign address on one line. We split it into street, city, region and postal code. The original line is kept in addressAsPublished. Foreign rows have no map point.

### How current is the data?

Snapshot built on October 26, 2026. It is a one-time snapshot and is not rebuilt on a schedule.

### How is this data cleaned?

Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt October 26, 2026 from accessdata.fda.gov: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (October 26, 2026). Unified 0 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (October 26, 2026). Corrected 0 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (October 26, 2026). Set the state on 149 listings to its two-letter US Postal Service code, matched to the US Census Bureau state register (or, for Canadian rows, the ISO province code) (October 26, 2026). Added map coordinates to 0 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (October 26, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 0 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (October 26, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 0 points that fell outside that state (October 26, 2026). Flagged 3,908 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (October 26, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (October 26, 2026).

### Isn't this free on accessdata.fda.gov?

The underlying records are public on accessdata.fda.gov. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: standardised 149 state codes, flagged 3,908 incomplete addresses and measured 4,815 rows. The current file was rebuilt October 26, 2026 from accessdata.fda.gov. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates.

### How complete is each field?

Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: email 100%, street address 100%, city 100%, state 72%, ZIP code 95%. 36 of 36 columns are filled on at least half the rows.
