FBI Apostille Fast, Expedited & Guaranteed

Yes, absolutely. You do not need to be in the United States to complete this. Simply upload your official digital FBI background check PDF (the electronic file received from the FBI or an approved channeler) directly to our portal. Once we process and secure the federal apostille in Washington, D.C., we ship the completed physical document directly to your international address via secure, insured DHL or FedEx shipping.

Because the FBI is a federal agency under the U.S. Department of Justice, its records fall strictly under federal jurisdiction. Local state Secretary of State offices only have authority to apostille state or local documents (like birth certificates or notarized power of attorneys). An FBI background check must be processed at the federal level directly through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. Our service handles this complex federal pipeline for you.

We treat your personal data with the utmost confidentiality. We utilize bank-grade, end-to-end encryption protocols for all digital file uploads. Once received, your criminal history record, fingerprints, and personal details are handled strictly under a zero-exposure policy by our certified, security-vetted team. Your files are deleted from our servers immediately after delivery.

Standard mail-in processing submitted directly to the U.S. Department of State currently faces massive administrative backlogs, taking anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. We bypass these government mail delays by utilizing dedicated physical processing channels in Washington, D.C. Our specialists securely hand-carry and track client submissions directly through the federal authorization pipeline, shrinking the turnaround time down to just 7 to 10 business days.

No. Please do not print or notarize your digital file. The PDF issued directly by the FBI or your approved FBI-certified Channeler contains secure, embedded federal digital signatures. These signatures are already certified and recognized by the U.S. Department of State. Simply upload the original electronic PDF exactly as you downloaded it. If you print the document or obtain a local state notary stamp, it will invalidate the federal signatures and cause your application to be rejected.

If your destination country (such as Vietnam, Qatar, China, or the UAE) is not a member of the Hague Convention, a standard federal apostille is not recognized. These countries require a multi-step process known as Consular or Embassy Legalization. We handle this entire process for you: first securing U.S. Department of State certification, followed by obtaining the final legal stamps from the target country’s embassy in Washington, D.C.

While the federal apostille certificate itself technically does not expire, foreign immigration authorities and embassies require your background records to be highly current. Most foreign governments (such as Spain, Portugal, or Italy) require your FBI background report to have been issued within the last 3 to 6 months at the time of your visa appointment. We strongly recommend submitting your document to us immediately after downloading your report from the FBI portal.

Every federal background check we authenticate is processed in strict accordance with the latest Hague Convention standards and foreign embassy guidelines. To eliminate any risk, our document specialists pre-vet your files before submitting them to federal officials. In the extremely rare event that your authenticated document is rejected by a foreign consulate or government agency due to a processing error on our part, we will issue a full 100% refund of your service fee.
