Common questions
What is an apostille for an FBI Background Check?
An apostille is an internationally recognized certification issued by the U.S. Department of State that verifies the authenticity of your FBI Background Check for use in countries that have signed the 1961 Hague Convention. It's required for international employment applications, residency permits, and visa processes in member countries.
Do I need an apostille or embassy authentication?
If your destination country is a Hague Convention member, you need an apostille. If it's not a member, your document needs embassy authentication (also called legalization). Not sure which applies? Contact us — we'll confirm at no charge.
How long does the FBI apostille process take?
With our Express service, the total process takes 8–9 business days from the time we receive your documents. Standard runs 12–14 business days, and Economy is available for clients with flexible timelines — 5+ weeks. Keep in mind that Fridays do not count as working days at the U.S. Department of State.
