The FBI Identity History Summary is one part of a non-lucrative visa file. We handle the federal apostille for the FBI document; review your filing consulate’s full checklist for the rest.
Use an available FBI or approved channeler route. Our in-person FBI check is available at its Virginia locations.
The FBI report is a federal document. Submit it for a U.S. Department of State apostille; a state apostille is not the route for this document.
Check the current instructions for your purpose and filing authority before ordering translation of the FBI report or apostille page.
Washington, Boston, and Miami require an accepted Spanish translation of the FBI check and explicitly say the apostille page does not need translation. Washington, Boston, Miami, and Houston name an ATA translator route; other posts describe accepted translations differently. A MAEC sworn translator is not the only route at every post.
The eight U.S. non-lucrative consular pages checked describe a six-month FBI issuance window. Recheck the exact rule at your filing post before scheduling.
These sources were checked October 6, 2026. Requirements may change, and your filing post can add instructions.
Order the federal apostille for your FBI report. If your filing post requires a translation, confirm its exact scope before you buy.
