FBI Background Check Apostille

FBI Background Check Apostille?

What is an FBI Background Check Apostille?

An Apostille adds an extra layer of authentication to an FBI Background Check, making it internationally recognized in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This ensures that your document is accepted abroad for various purposes, including employment, residency, or other legal requirements. The U.S. Department of State Authentication Office in Washington, D.C., is the only office authorized to issue Apostilles for FBI Background Checks. The standard processing time for this service is approximately 8-10 business days.
