FBI apostille for the Philippines
The Philippines joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2019 — so the old "red ribbon" is gone, and your FBI background check now needs an apostille from the U.S. Department of State. We take your prints, pull your FBI report in about 30 minutes, and apostille it for the Philippines. Nationwide by mail.
No more red ribbon. Before 2019, documents for the Philippines needed a "red ribbon" authentication from the Philippine consulate. Now that the Philippines is a Hague Apostille Convention member, a single apostille from the U.S. Department of State is all your FBI background check needs.
Common reasons people need an FBI apostille for the Philippines
If the Philippines is asking for your FBI background check "apostilled," "authenticated," or with a "red ribbon," an FBI apostille from the U.S. Department of State is now 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?
