Do you need an FBI Apostille for Spain?
If you are planning to work, travel too, obtain dual-citizenship, get married in, or move to the country of Spain, you may be asked to obtain an apostille on your FBI background check. Spain is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention and documents destined for this country will require an apostille from the U.S. Department of State.
If you are in the beginning stages and have not yet submitted your fingerprints directly to the FBI, we recommend that you contact an FBI Channeler to help expedite the background check process. In most cases, the FBI Channeler will be able to obtain the background check within one week. If you decide to go through the FBI directly, the processing time is 14-16 weeks. All questions related to obtaining your background check should be directed to the FBI Channeler.

For example, if you plan to get married in Spain, the country may request a certified copy of your birth certificate, divorce decree (If you are divorced) or single status affidavit.
