What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by the U.S. Department of State (for federal documents) or a state’s Secretary of State (for state documents). It verifies the authenticity of a document, confirming that:
The signature is real
The issuing authority is legitimate
The seal or stamp is authentic
Your FBI background check must be apostilled when used for:
Work visas
Residency visas
Long-stay permits
Student visas
Dual citizenship
International adoption
Teaching abroad
Immigration filings
Retirement abroad
Countries like Spain, Portugal, Panama, and Argentina will not accept your FBI report unless it is apostilled.
With our service, we ensure your apostille is completed correctly, quickly, and accepted worldwide.
