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.
