What is an Apostille and Why Do You Need It?
An apostille is an official certification that authenticates the validity of a document for use in foreign countries that are members of The Hague Apostille Convention. Without this certification, many foreign governments, employers, and immigration agencies will not recognize your FBI background check as legitimate.
The U.S. Department of State handles the apostille process for federal documents, including FBI background checks. If your destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, you may need additional steps, such as embassy legalization. Learn more about The Hague Apostille Convention from the official Hague Conference on Private International Law.
