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 is expedited at the Department of State and comes back in 7 to 10 business days under your brand. You translate the complete package, or order certified translation in the same portal when you want it.
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 manage expedited federal processing, estimated at 7 to 10 business days after Department of State submission, followed by return shipping. 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 client provides their FBI background check. You upload it. We handle everything after that. Once the apostille is back, you translate.
Log into your branded portal, upload your client's FBI background check, and enter their shipping details. Takes about 2 minutes.
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 manage expedited processing through the U.S. Department of State. Processing dates are estimates; return shipping follows completion.
The apostilled document is shipped to you or directly to your client. 2-day shipping included. You translate the complete package: FBI check plus apostille.
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. And when a job calls for a language or a certification you do not carry in house, the same portal orders a certified translation under your brand, with real speed choices, the right regional variant, the certification the destination asks for, and a printed copy if the client needs one. One experience, one company, one point of contact for your client.
Other providers process the apostille and hand it back. We run the entire client experience under your brand. Tracking texts, milestone emails, a personal tracking page, delivery notifications. No other third-party apostille provider offers this level of client experience. You never relay a single update.
Your clients receive tracking texts and emails at every milestone. Submission confirmation, status changes, shipping notifications. All under your company name. Client replies go directly to your inbox.
Every client gets a personal tracking page branded to your company with real-time status updates. They know the ready date as soon as documents are dropped off at the Department of State. After delivery, automated review and referral requests go out under your name.
See every apostille order, every status, every document in one place. Filter by client, date, or status. Always know where things stand so you can plan translation work accordingly.
When you want it, order a certified translation from the same dashboard, under your brand: three speeds priced live with the translator's due date, the destination's regional variant of the language, the certification the destination usually asks for pre-selected, and a printed copy shipped as a separate parcel. Your client does not coordinate between multiple providers.
Ship the apostilled document to your office (you translate, then send to client), directly to your client, or to a consulate or embassy. 2-day shipping included.
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.
Your clients receive tracking texts, emails, and a personal tracking page with updates at every stage of the apostille process. All communication is branded to your company. They know the ready date as soon as documents are dropped off at the Department of State. No other third-party apostille provider offers this level of visibility and client experience. This is infrastructure you would have to build yourself, and we have already built it for you.
Most partners translate the apostilled packet themselves. When a job calls for a language pair, a certification or a turnaround you do not carry in house, the portal orders it for you, under your brand, with the same tracking page and the same branded emails. Everything below is live today.
Standard, priority (next day) or urgent (same day). Each speed is priced live and shown with the translator's own due date before you pay, so you can promise your client a date you did not guess.
The language follows the destination: Spanish for Colombia, Portuguese for Brazil, French for Canada, English for the United Kingdom, and more. You pick the country and the variant is set for you.
The certification the destination usually requires is pre-selected: standard certified, sworn, or Canada and NAATI certified where they are offered. If your client's receiving office asked for something different, change it on the order.
Every translation arrives as a certified PDF. When the receiving office wants paper, add a printed copy and the translator ships it as a separate parcel to the address you give, with the shipping price shown before you pay.
No hidden fees, no monthly charges, no volume requirements. You pay per order and every order includes return shipping.
$95 each additional document (up to 10 per order)
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 tracking texts, a personal tracking page, and automated emails all branded to your company. 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 business 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.
The apostille is the first step. The translation is the second. When you offer both under your brand, you become the one-stop-shop your clients are looking for. Get set up in 24 hours.
