An apostille is an official certification that verifies a document for international use. Apostilles are issued by a government authority to confirm that a document is authentic and can be accepted in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. In California, apostilles are issued by the California Secretary of State, while federal apostilles for FBI background checks are issued by the U.S. Department of State.
Many documents require an apostille when they are used outside the United States. Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, powers of attorney, corporate documents, diplomas, transcripts, and FBI background checks. Apostille certification confirms that the document is authentic so it can be legally accepted in another country.
Apostille processing time depends on the type of document and the government office involved. California apostilles issued by the Secretary of State may take several business days. Federal apostilles for FBI background checks processed through the U.S. Department of State may take longer. Express courier service and expedited processing options may reduce the overall turnaround time.
Yes. If an FBI background check will be used outside the United States, it typically requires a federal apostille. The apostille confirms that the document issued by the U.S. Department of Justice is authentic and can be accepted by authorities in another country. FBI apostilles are commonly required for immigration, employment abroad, residency permits, and dual citizenship applications.
Apostille service costs depend on the type of document, the government fees, and shipping or courier requirements.

Additional costs may include notary certification, courier delivery, and FedEx shipping for returning documents domestically or internationally.
