What Is FBI Apostille and Why Do You Need It?
FBI Apostille Overview
FBI Apostille is a form of authentication issued by the U.S. Department of State, certifying the authenticity of an FBI background check for use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This document is essential for many purposes such as work visas, immigration, and international legal proceedings. Without an apostille, your FBI background check may not be accepted abroad.
