FBI Background Check with Apostille Authentication

How It Works

Enroll Online & Get Fingerprinted

Enroll online for your FBI background check and select the apostille service during checkout. Then visit a Certifix location to submit your fingerprints. We securely transmit them to the FBI for processing.

FBI Background Check Processing

The FBI processes your background check and issues your official report. Your report is then prepared for apostille authentication.

Apostille Authentication & Delivery

We submit your FBI report for apostille authentication. Once completed, your authenticated document is sent directly to you. You’ll receive email updates throughout the process.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certification that allows your FBI background check to be recognized in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Convention.

It is commonly required for:

Work or employment abroad
Residency or long-term visa applications
Dual citizenship applications
Marriage abroad
International background check requirements

When you select the Apostille service during enrollment, Certifix manages the authentication process and keeps you updated by email until your apostilled document is delivered.
