What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certificate used for U.S. documents that need to be presented in another country that accepts apostilles.
For FBI background checks, the apostille route is federal because an FBI background check is a federal document. That means your FBI apostille must go through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Common Uses
People commonly need an FBI background check apostille for:
Immigration Visas Residency Work Abroad Study Abroad Marriage Adoption Dual Citizenship Other International Requirements
If the destination country does not accept apostilles, authentication or embassy legalization may be required instead.

How to Order an FBI Report for Apostille
Before you can order an FBI apostille, you need to obtain your FBI background check report first.
This report is also known as an FBI Identity History Summary. Most people get it by contacting an FBI-approved Channeler, getting fingerprinted, and receiving the FBI report electronically.
What Is an FBI Channeler?
An FBI-approved Channeler helps submit your fingerprints and required information to the FBI CJIS Division for an Identity History Summary check.
Once processed, you receive your FBI background check PDF. After that, you can start your federal FBI apostille order with Apostille Center USA.

FBI background checks are federal documents. The apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State, not by a state Secretary of State and not by a notary.
For an FBI background check, you usually need a federal apostille through the U.S. Department of State. State apostilles are generally for state-issued or notarized documents, not federal FBI reports.
In many cases, you can start online by uploading the official FBI PDF for review. Please send the original PDF file you received from the FBI or an FBI-approved Channeler — not a screenshot, phone photo, or edited scan.
We review it first before payment and explain the next step.
Usually, no. A screenshot, phone photo, or scanned copy may cause problems. The safest option is to send the original FBI PDF file for review before you pay.
No. FBI background checks do not need notarization for federal apostille processing. They are processed through the U.S. Department of State because the FBI is a federal agency.
An FBI-approved Channeler is a private company approved to help submit fingerprints and information for an FBI Identity History Summary Check.
If you do not have your FBI background check yet, using an FBI-approved Channeler may help you receive your FBI report faster.
It depends on the destination country. Hague Convention countries usually require an apostille. Non-Hague countries may require federal authentication and embassy or consular legalization instead.
Some countries require certified translation of the FBI background check, the apostille certificate, or both. Translation requirements depend on the destination country and the receiving authority.
Certified translation can be added separately if needed.
