FBI Background Check (Apostille)

An FBI background check (Identity History Summary) is a formal document that includes a person's criminal history, if any, based on fingerprints submitted to the FBI.

Reasons why an FBI Background Check Apostille may be needed:

  • Visa & Immigration Applications

  • International Employment

  • Dual Citizenship

  • Residency

  • Study Abroad

  • Employment Abroad

  • Standard FBI Apostille Processing Time 3-5 Weeks ($125)

  • Expedited FBI Apostille Processing time 7-10 Business Days ($225)

If you need to present your background check for official use in a country that’s part of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention you must get an apostille. This involves sending the original FBI check to the U.S. Department of State or another authorized office.

If the country is not part of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention Treaty, you will need additional authentication from the Department of State and at the foreign embassy or consulate within the United States. Additional fees apply.
