Note for International Travel & Visas: Embassy & Consular Legalizations

What happens in DC—and why it matters
Your FBI report is authenticated by the US Department of State in Washington, DC. Our team pre‑reviews each file to ensure names, dates, and signatures match, then hand‑delivers to the Office of Authentications during the correct submission window. That cuts avoidable delays and rejected filings.
If your destination country requires embassy legalization rather than apostille, we coordinate the consular step after federal authentication. You’ll get live status updates and a single point of contact throughout.
FBI Direct
Slowest, mailed ink card or online submission to FBI. Best if you aren’t in a rush.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an original FBI report or is a PDF OK?
No, you do not need the original hard copy of your FBI report for most destinations. In nearly all cases, consulates accept the electronically issued FBI PDF, printed on standard paper, as long as it has received the apostille. If you are applying to a destination that explicitly requires the original with the blue seal, we will help you request the hard copy and guide you on how to get it delivered for filing and apostille.
What other federal documents can be authenticated alongside my FBI report?
We handle a wide range of U.S. federal agency documents alongside FBI reports, including USDA Animal & Plant Health Certificates, FDA Regulatory documents, IRS Form 6166 Residency Certificates, and U.S. Federal Court records. All federal documents are authenticated directly through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
How long does the apostille process take?
FBI Apostille expedite government timing is about 7 to 10 business days. State Apostille can be done even faster in many cases.
Can you send my completed documents directly to a third party, like a consulate or employer?
Yes, we can securely ship your apostilled documents directly to a consulate, employer, attorney, or another authorized recipient. Just provide the necessary delivery details during checkout or by contacting our support team, and we’ll ensure your documents arrive safely at the correct destination.
