Hague Apostille Convention

January 29, 2023 by

The United States joined the Hague Apostille Convention on October 15, 1981. The Convention abolishes the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents, such as the FBI background check and replaces it with a simpler method of authentication known as an apostille. This simplifies the process of presenting official documents from one country to another, as it eliminates the need for multiple layers of certification. An apostille is a certificate attached to a document, certifying the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, and the identity of any stamp or seal on the document.  For the FBI background check, the apostille is issued by the US Department of State in Washington DC.

An FBI Apostille is a certificate of authentication for a background check or criminal history record obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Apostille verifies that the document is an official, genuine copy of the FBI record and certifies the signature of the FBI official who signed it. The FBI Apostille is often required for individuals who need to present their FBI background check or criminal history record in a foreign country as part of immigration, employment, or other legal procedures.

To obtain an FBI Apostille, individuals typically need to first request an FBI Criminal History Record or FBI background check, which must be submitted to the FBI or FBI channeler for processing. Once the FBI record is received, it can be sent to our Washington DC apostille office so we can obtain the issuance of an Apostille. The U.S. Department of State will attach the Apostille to the FBI record, certifying its authenticity for use in a foreign country.

Note that not all foreign countries recognize FBI background checks or criminal history records, and some may require additional certifications or authentication procedures. It is important to check the specific requirements of the foreign country before submitting an FBI record for an Apostille.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the Apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our staff is available Monday-Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow-step-by-step instructions.  Please call us at 1-888-810-4054 or email: support@apostilleFBI.com
