FBI apostille for the United Kingdom

The UK is a Hague Apostille Convention country — so your FBI background check needs an apostille from the U.S. Department of State, not consular legalization. We take your prints, pull your FBI report in about 30 minutes, and apostille it for the UK. Nationwide by mail.

Prints + apostille under one roof 7–10 business days to process English — no translation needed

Apostille, not legalization. Because the United Kingdom belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention, a single apostille from the U.S. Department of State is all the authentication your FBI background check needs — no UK consulate step required, and no translation since your report is already in English.

Why you're here

Common reasons people need an FBI apostille for the UK

If the UK 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?

No translation needed. Your FBI report is already in English, so there's nothing extra to translate for the UK — one less step and one less cost.
