Italy is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille from the U.S. Department of State is all the authentication your FBI background check needs — no embassy legalization required.

Why you're here

Common reasons people need an FBI apostille for Italy

If Italy is asking for your FBI background check "apostilled," "authenticated," or "legalized," an FBI apostille from the U.S. Department of State is what you need. We take your fingerprints, get your FBI report in about 30 minutes, and apostille it — one team, start to finish. Need the FBI check itself?

Italy almost always wants an Italian translation. Most consulates require a certified Italian translation of the apostilled FBI report. Get the apostille first, then translate the full packet — we handle certified translation too, typically $50 to $75 per page.
