How do I get a FBI
background check apostille?


First, you need to order and obtain your FBI background check from an FBI-approved channeler.

Please go to the below official FBI page to see a list of all the current FBI-approved channelers which you can order an FBI criminal background check and FBI identity history summary through.

Please note that FBI background checks are only valid for three months.  The United States Department of State will not issue an FBI apostille certificate or FBI authentication certificate on your FBI criminal background check or FBI identity history summary checks that are older than three months.

Once you have obtained your FBI background check you will email us the FBI background check report PDF that you can receive and download off the FBI channeler’s website that you used. But you must request the downloadable PDF option otherwise you’ll only get your FBI background check mailed to you. Then you will have to mail it to us instead of being able to quickly and for free email it to us.

We will then rush apostille file your FBI background check at the U.S Department of State in Washington D.C and mail it back to you or to whomever you want since we require a prepaid return FedEx or UPS shipping label from you at the time of your order.
