For most countries, the FBI background check must be apostilled first, then translated. When your clients have to figure out the apostille on their own, your translation project stalls for weeks. With our white-label Partner Program, the apostille comes back in 7 to 10 business days and you translate the complete package.
When a client needs their FBI background check translated for a visa, residency permit, or citizenship application abroad, the apostille must happen first. The receiving country requires both the original document and the apostille to be translated together. Without the apostille, the translation is incomplete.
If your clients need documents for use in Spain, Portugal, Italy, or any of the 126 Hague Convention countries, the workflow is always: apostille first, then translate.
For Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and most Hague Convention countries, the FBI background check must be apostilled before it can be translated. The translation must include the apostille page itself. This means the apostille is not optional, it is a prerequisite to the translation work your client is paying for.
An FBI background check is a federal document. Only the U.S. Department of State can apostille federal documents. No state office, no notary, and no translation company can issue this apostille. That is why a dedicated provider exists.
The Department of State processes mail-in requests in 5+ weeks. There is no online portal. We personally walk documents in due to our proximity to Washington, D.C., which is how we achieve 7 to 10 business day turnaround. Your clients and their translation projects do not wait months.
The demand is massive. Anyone applying for a visa, residency permit, work authorization, or citizenship in any of the 126 Hague Convention countries needs their FBI background check apostilled before it can be translated. Spain (Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa), Portugal (D7, Golden Visa), Italy (dual citizenship), Germany, France, South Korea, UAE, and dozens more. If your clients are going abroad, they need this.
Your clients come to you for the translation. But they also need the apostille. Right now, they either figure it out on their own (weeks of delay, your project on hold) or they find a company that offers both. Either way, you lose control of the timeline and risk losing the client entirely.
Translation companies that can say "we handle both the apostille and the translation" win over companies that only translate. It is the complete package. The client does not have to coordinate between multiple providers, chase down status updates, or worry about whether the apostille will arrive in time for their visa deadline.
With the Partner Program, your client's FBI background check gets apostilled in 7 to 10 business days under your brand. The apostilled document comes back to you. You translate the complete package: FBI check plus apostille. One experience, one company, one point of contact for your client.
Your client provides their FBI background check. You upload it. We handle everything after that. Once the apostille is back, you translate.

We fill out all required Department of State forms, verify the documents, and package everything for submission. You do not touch any of this.
We personally walk your client's documents into the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. This is the only way to get 7 to 10 business day turnaround.

No monthly fees, no minimums, no contracts, no setup costs. Use the portal when you have a client who needs an apostille. One order or fifty.
We work with translation companies in all three of these situations. The Partner Program solves a different problem depending on where you are starting from.
You translate documents but when a client needs the apostille first, you tell them to handle it on their own. Your project stalls for weeks. The client may find another company that offers both. With the Partner Program, you offer the apostille under your brand with zero extra work.
You advertise apostille services on your website but outsource the processing. Your client asks for a status update and you check with your provider, then relay the answer. You are the middleman. Our portal gives your clients a branded tracking page and automated emails. You never relay a single update again.
You already process apostilles, likely by mailing documents to the Department of State. That means 5 to 12 week turnaround, filling out forms, writing checks, tracking which document is where. Every hour spent on apostille logistics is an hour not spent on translation work. We do it in 7 to 10 days and handle everything.
These are the most common scenarios where a translation client also needs their FBI background check apostilled.
Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, student visas. Spain requires a sworn (MAEC) translation of the apostilled FBI background check. Apostille must come first.
Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) requires an apostilled and translated FBI background check. One of the highest-volume document types in the translation industry.
D7 Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, Golden Visa. Portugal requires apostilled and translated FBI background checks for all residency applications. Only federal-level apostilles are accepted.
Germany, France, UAE, South Korea, and dozens of other countries require apostilled FBI checks for work visas and employment permits. Growing as remote work drives international relocation.
No hidden fees, no monthly charges, no volume requirements. You pay per order and every order includes return shipping.
