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!
