Federal Apostille reviews
In our customers' own words.

Our customers review us on Trustpilot, and they write from the United States, Spain, Canada, Colombia and Argentina — most often about an FBI background check apostille for a visa. Their reviews are reproduced below word for word, typos and all, including the critical ones and the one-star. Each one links to its own Trustpilot permalink, so nothing here rests on our say-so.

FBI background check

I had an excellent experience with…

I had an excellent experience with Federal Apostille. I needed my FBI background check processed quickly, and they delivered my report in just 24 hours — which honestly exceeded my expectations. In a process that can often feel confusing or slow, their team made everything clear, straightforward, and efficient from start to finish. Their communication was consistent, pricing was transparent, and I always knew exactly where my order stood. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they physically hand-deliver federal apostille documents through the proper channels at the U.S. Department of State. If you need an FBI background check apostille or any federal apostille service and can’t afford delays, I highly recommend Federal Apostille. Fast, reliable, and professional.

Quick answerFederal Apostille™ is a private, independent courier service that hand-delivers federal documents to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC. Its customers review it on Trustpilot, writing from the United States, Spain, Canada, Colombia and Argentina, most often about FBI background check apostilles for visa applications. Their reviews are reproduced below in full — including a one-star review about failing to reach a person through the automated assistant, and a four-star review asking for order tracking and a choice of shipping speed — and each one links to its own Trustpilot permalink.

Reviews captured from the public Trustpilot profile on Sep 14, 2026. The profile is live and is the current record.

Due diligence

Is Federal Apostille legitimate?

Yes — and the checkable version of that answer matters more than the claim. Federal Apostille™ is a private, independent courier and document-processing service. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State or any government agency, and we are not a law firm. What we do is physically carry federal documents to the Office of Authentications in Washington, DC and bring the apostille back, which is why a federal apostille takes about 10 business days with us instead of the months the mail-in queue can run.

The unflattering part

What reviewers said went wrong

A page of unbroken praise is a page you should distrust. So here is the criticism our reviewers have actually written — quoted in full, linked to its source, and put above the praise rather than buried beneath it.

The AI assistant at the front door failed someone badly.

“Terrible AI customer service entry funnel. Companies need to realize that it is just going to frustrate people more when you have a stupid automation that can do nothing. When they finally do return your phone call they message you from Whats App and refuse to call back on the phone . This is after three attempts at getting a hold of someone through their AI agent.”

This is the lowest-rated review on the profile and it is a fair hit. Shawn tried three times to reach a person through the automated assistant, got nowhere, and when we did make contact it was a WhatsApp message rather than the phone call he had asked for. The assistant is there so that intake is answered at 3am, not so that a caller who wants a human has to defeat it — an assistant that cannot escalate is worse than no assistant. If you want a person, say so and you will get one: leave a message at +1-202-900-0877 and a member of our team calls you back on the number you called from, not on WhatsApp.

Two things this customer wanted, one of which we already had.

“I had a great experience with Federal Apostille! The only thing is I wish there was a way to track the status of the whole process via a portal or having an assigned agent that provides regular updates. Also, an option to select the type of shipping a customer wants (overnight, next day, etc) would be great!”

Ann-Isabel asked for a way to follow her case and for a choice of shipping speed. On the first, the failure is ours and it is not a missing feature: a customer portal that tracks each stage of an order has been in beta since August 2026, and nobody sent her the link. On the second, she is describing something we do not offer — shipping method is not selectable at checkout today, and we are not going to promise it here to make a review look answered.

One order ran a day past the estimate.

“Federal Apostille said the document would be completed in 10 days, which took 11 but I'm not complaining. The process was easy, their responses to my questions and concerns were prompt. And the price seemed to be lower than other similar companies. I highly recommend them.”

Leonard's apostille was quoted at 10 business days and took 11. Federal turnaround depends on the U.S. Department of State's queue, which is why we publish ~10 business days as an estimate and not a guarantee.

The same friction, from someone it did not cost.

“Awesome service! Totally legit. I had some concerns given the AI agent you initially work with but did actually get to speak to a human. I had quite a few documents requiring Apostille and they delivered faster than expected which allowed us to meet our deadline. Highly recommend them!”

Heather rated us five stars and still wrote that the AI agent you speak to first gave her pause — and that she did reach a human. Read alongside Shawn's review above, the two describe one intake funnel working and failing on the same design: automation is meant to answer around the clock and then get out of the way. When it does not, ask for a callback, or ask for a courtesy Zoom consultation if you would rather talk face to face.

Every review on the profile, reproduced verbatim, spelling and all — nothing trimmed, nothing tidied, nothing left out. Each one shows the rating its reviewer gave it. A line is marked in the positive reviews so you can take the page in without reading every word; the critical ones are left unmarked, because the only phrases worth highlighting in a complaint are the flattering fragments of it. We shorten reviewers' surnames to an initial; the full name is on the Trustpilot page each review links to.

FBI check + translations

Smooth, Professional, and Reliable from Start to Finish

As someone navigating an international visa process while living abroad, I truly appreciated the professionalism and support from this team. They took what could have been a complicated and stressful process—FBI background check, apostille, and certified translations—and made it feel smooth, organized, and manageable. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and everything was delivered as expected. That level of reliability gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone needing trustworthy and efficient apostille and translation support.

FBI background check

Amazing, Fast, Easy to do

I moved overseas this year to Colombia. While doing the marital visa process, I learned I needed an FBI background check done and apostilled. Was able to do this thru Federal Apostille with a few clicks on their site. So grateful for the services you provide. And they provide the service faster than what a normal person can get which helped with the short time frames I had to meet Colombia’s requirements. Five stars all day. Thank you!

How these reviews are collected

Reviews are collected through Trustpilot invitations sent after an order is delivered. They are published on Trustpilot's platform under Trustpilot's rules, which means we cannot edit a review, delete a review, or hide one we dislike. We do not pay for reviews and we do not offer discounts, refunds, or anything else in exchange for writing one.

None of these reviews carry Trustpilot's receipt-verified badge, so we call them Trustpilot reviews rather than verified reviews. We would rather under-claim than have you find the gap yourself.

The reviews on this page were captured from the live profile on Sep 14, 2026, and customers have written more since. The profile is the current and complete record — read it there rather than relying on this page being up to date.

Questions about our reviews

Is Federal Apostille legit?+

Yes. Federal Apostille™ is a private, independent courier and document-processing service that hand-delivers federal documents to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State or any government agency, and we are not a law firm. Our Trustpilot profile is claimed and public, and every review quoted on this page links to its own Trustpilot permalink so you can read it at the source rather than taking our word for it.

Are these reviews verified purchases?+

They are reviews collected through Trustpilot invitations, published on Trustpilot's platform under its moderation rules, and none of them carry Trustpilot's receipt-verified badge. We describe them as Trustpilot reviews rather than verified reviews because that is what they are. We cannot edit or delete a review, and we do not pay for reviews or offer anything in exchange for one.

Has anyone had a bad experience?+

Yes. The sharpest one on the profile is a one-star review from a customer who tried three times to reach a person through our automated intake assistant, could not, and was then messaged on WhatsApp instead of getting the phone call he had asked for. He is right, and it is quoted in full on this page rather than left out. A four-star reviewer asked for two things: a way to track her order, and a choice of shipping speed — we had an order-tracking portal in beta and failed to give her the link, and we do not currently offer a shipping-speed choice at checkout. A third reviewer's apostille was estimated at 10 business days and took 11.

We handle a high volume of cases and we do not get all of them right. What we can control is answering honestly and quoting the complaints whole. For the current picture, including anything written since this page was last updated, read the profile itself.
