Your Applicants Need an Apostilled FBI Check Before the Consulate Appointment. Give Them One Vendor That Gets It Right.

Every Spanish consulate asks for the FBI Identity History Summary with a U.S. Department of State apostille, usually with a sworn translation, and each filing post caps how old it can be. We hand-carry it into the Department of State in Washington, D.C.: $120, approximately 7 to 10 business days of federal processing, translation and worldwide shipping in the same order. One link for your applicants, one dashboard for you.

A Rejected or Expired FBI Document Costs Your Applicant the Appointment

Spain applications fail on paperwork more often than on eligibility. The FBI report is the document applicants get wrong most, because the rules are federal, the deadlines are set by the consulate, and the mail-in apostille queue does not care about either.

  • Consulates cap the age of the FBI report. The Washington instructions we last checked use a six-month issuance window; other posts differ. A mail-in apostille that takes 5 to 12 weeks can hand back a report that is already too old.
  • Applicants notarize the FBI report or send it to a state Secretary of State. Both get rejected; only the U.S. Department of State can apostille a federal document.
  • The sworn translation is ordered separately, from a different vendor, and arrives with a different name spelling or date than the apostilled report.
  • Nobody can see where the document is, so the questions land on your inbox, your Facebook group or your program coordinator.
  • Each cohort or client learns the process from scratch, and the same five mistakes repeat every intake season.

Where the Apostille Fits Before the Consulate Date

Most Spain routes book the consulate appointment weeks ahead. The apostille is the step that decides whether the applicant walks in with a complete file.

Without Us: Mail-In Processing
Day 1
FBI report received. Applicant starts reading forum threads about the DS-4194.
Day 2-3
Applicant fills the DS-4194, buys a money order, mails the original to the Department of State.
Bottleneck
5 to 12 Weeks
No tracking. No expedite option. Translation still not ordered.
Week 12+
Apostille returns. Translation ordered now. The consulate date has passed or the report has aged out.
With Us: Personal Walk-In
Day 1
FBI report uploaded from your link or your portal, translation added in the same checkout. In Northern Virginia we take the fingerprints and have the FBI result in about 30 minutes.
Day 2
We review the report for the rejection causes, prepare the DS-4194 and walk it into the Department of State.
Day 3-8
Federal processing. The applicant watches status on a tracking page, with texts and emails at each milestone.
Day 7-10
Apostille complete. Scan posted the same day; original and translation shipped to the applicant, to you, or directly to Spain.

Spain Routes Where the Consulate Asks for the FBI Apostille

The document is the same federal apostille. The timing, translation scope and companion documents change by route and by filing post; each page below is checked against the published instructions and dated.

NALCAP and Auxiliares de Conversación

Language and culture assistants on the Washington NALCAP route. The FBI criminal-record document needs the federal apostille; other student and assistant routes can have different triggers.

Non-Lucrative Visa

Retirees and residents living on income from outside Spain. The checked Washington instructions call for the FBI check with a federal apostille and an accepted Spanish translation.

Digital Nomad (Telework) Visa

Remote workers and freelancers. Same federal apostille, with the six-month issuance window the Washington telework instructions use.

Student Visas Over 180 Days

Degree programs, master's and long study stays. Confirm the translation scope for the filing post before buying it.

Work and Highly Qualified Professional Visas

Employer-sponsored files where the consulate asks for the criminal record of the country of residence for the last five years.

Already in Spain

Renewals, residency changes and registrations that ask for a current U.S. record while the applicant is abroad. Upload the PDF, receive the original in Spain.

Blurb in English

Spain requires your FBI background check to carry a U.S. Department of State apostille, and most consulates want a sworn translation with it. Fingerprints & Apostilles hand-carries the report into the Department of State in Washington, D.C. (approximately 7 to 10 business days of processing, $120 with U.S. return shipping included), adds the translation in the same order and ships worldwide. Order here: [your link].

Blurb in Spanish

España exige que tu certificado de antecedentes del FBI lleve la apostilla del Departamento de Estado de EE. UU., y la mayoría de los consulados piden además una traducción jurada.

UU. incluido), añade la traducción en el mismo pedido y envía a todo el mundo. Pide aquí: [tu enlace].

Questions Spain Partners Ask

Yes. Spanish consulates ask for the FBI Identity History Summary with a U.S. Department of State apostille, because the FBI report is a federal document. A state Secretary of State cannot apostille it, and a notarized copy is not accepted. The exact document list still depends on the visa purpose and the consulate handling the file, which is why we keep a checklist per route.
It depends on the filing post. The Washington non-lucrative and telework instructions we last checked use a six-month FBI issuance window, so do not apply a blanket 90-day rule to Spain. Other consulates can publish different limits. We time the order to the appointment and confirm the current instructions for the applicant's purpose and filing post.
Yes. A sworn or certified translation of the FBI report can be ordered in the same checkout as the apostille, priced live before payment and delivered with the apostilled document. The Washington instructions we checked say the apostille page itself does not need translation; we confirm the scope for the applicant's route before anything is bought.
In Northern Virginia we take the fingerprints and deliver the FBI result in as little as 30 minutes, then start the apostille the same day. Elsewhere, the applicant obtains the FBI report through the FBI or an approved channeler and uploads the official PDF to the order. Nothing has to be mailed to us for an FBI report.
Yes. The FBI report is uploaded as a PDF, the apostille is processed in Washington, D.C., and the finished document ships worldwide with live FedEx and DHL rates calculated at checkout, including directly to an address in Spain. A scanned copy is posted to the tracking page the day the apostille is complete.
$120 for the first document and $95 for each additional document in the same order, 2-business-day U.S. return shipping included, with no rush tiers because every order already runs at walk-in speed. Sharing a link or a co-branded page costs you nothing. Partner portal pricing and wholesale terms are confirmed with you at signup; there are no monthly fees, minimums or contracts.
If you use the partner portal, every applicant you submit appears on one dashboard with real-time status, and each applicant gets a tracking page, texts and emails under your brand. If you only share a link, applicants track their own order and you stay out of the loop unless they ask you to be added as a notification contact.
No. We no longer take state apostille orders, including DC, Maryland and Virginia records, and we do not process Spanish-issued documents. For a state-issued U.S. document we connect you with a partner for the issuing state; for Spanish documents the applicant works with Spanish authorities.
