What Is an FBI Background Check Apostille?

Many countries require a legalized FBI Identity History Summary (a.k.a. FBI background check) for visas, residency, employment, or adoption. Because this is a federal document, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State — not by a state Secretary of State.

The apostille does not change the content of your FBI report. It certifies that the signature and seal are genuine — functioning as an internationally recognized seal of authenticity accepted in all Hague Convention member countries.

⚠️ State offices cannot apostille an FBI report. If you send your report to a state Secretary of State, it will be returned unprocessed. Only the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. has the authority.

We know you need this resolved as quickly as possible. That’s why we created the Federal Apostille Expedited FBI Background Check Apostille System to get your apostille finished quickly and correctly so you can move forward with confidence.

Every rejected FBI apostille
could add months to your timeline.

Mail-In vs. Our Expedited Service

Both options use the exact same authority — the U.S. Department of State. The difference is speed, error risk, and how much of your time is spent managing the process.

Factor Mail-In (DIY) Our Expedited Service
Typical Timeline ~5–6 weeks (can extend with backlogs or errors) ~10 business days on average
Risk of Rejection Higher — form/payment mistakes, missing details Lower — expert review and compliant packaging
Status Visibility Limited once mailed Proactive monitoring + scan on issuance
Scan Included No Yes — sent immediately on issuance
Error Recovery You restart and resubmit (weeks lost) We handle issues proactively
Best For Very flexible timelines, no deadline pressure Visas, relocation, employment — any deadline

In fact, here’s exactly what we do for you in three steps:

We Review Your Document for Accuracy

We carefully check your FBI background check before anything is filed, giving you peace of mind that a second set of expert eyes has caught errors that could cost you weeks.

We Hand-Deliver It to the Department of State

Common Mistakes to Avoid


✕Sending to the wrong authority — FBI reports are federal; state offices can’t apostille them.
✕Destination country omitted — Missing or incorrect destination creates misrouting and rejection.
✕Using the wrong payment method or amount — Causes returns and weeks of lost time.
✕Assuming “rush tiers” exist — Outside emergencies, there’s no faster legal tier than the standard federal flow.
✕Waiting too long to start — Many consulates require an apostille dated within a recent window (often 3–6 months).

We Know You Need This Problem Solved As QUICKLY As Possible

That’s why we created the Federal Apostille Expedited FBI Background Check Apostille System: to get your apostille finished quickly and correctly, so you can move forward with confidence.
