FBI BACKGROUND CHECK AND HAVING IT APOSTILLED
Getting an FBI Background Check and having it Apostilled
We apostille hundreds of FBI background checks every week. We will make sure your forms are filled out correctly, go to the right government office, and that you get your documents back on time. If you are planning on working, living, adopting, getting married, or obtaining dual citizenship in a foreign country, you will need to provide an Apostille on an FBI Criminal Background Check. We expedite the process by hand-carrying each report to the U.S. Department of State, where we request Apostilles in person.
Why do I need to apostille my FBI background check? The apostille is a document that certifies the legality of the document that accompanies, in this case, the FBI background check. The apostille is a separate document that is attached to the FBI background check to verify that it is real and authentic.
If you’re planning to obtain new or dual citizenship, live or work in a foreign country who is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you will need to present an FBI background check with an apostille.
