How to Obtain an Apostille for an FBI Background Check in Pennsylvania

To secure an apostille for your FBI background check in Pennsylvania, you have two primary options:

1. Using a Service Provider

Opting for a trusted service provider, such as A Washington Travel & Passport Visa Service, can streamline the process. Many providers offer convenient online applications, while others may require you to mail your documents. Service providers often expedite processing, saving you time and effort.

2. Through the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications

You can request an apostille directly from the Office of Authentications by completing the DS-4194 form and mailing it with your FBI background check to their office. Be aware that the processing time may take up to 12 weeks, excluding mailing time.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is an internationally recognized certification that verifies the authenticity of a document’s signature, seal, and the official’s authority who issued it. It is required for documents to be legally recognized in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. For FBI background checks, an apostille ensures that foreign governments can authenticate the document’s validity with confidence.

Pennsylvania Apostille or Authentication

May I send my federal documents to your office to be authenticated?

No. Federal documents are not authenticated at the state level. Please contact the United States Department of State Authentications Office.

Can my document be sent to a third party by your office after it has been authenticated?

Yes. Documents may be directed to a third party when the sender encloses a pre-addressed, pre-paid carrier-envelope when mailing the documents to our office for authentication. Any documents received without a paid return envelope will be delivered to the original sender via United States Postal Service.
