Studying abroad? Get your FBI background check and apostille done right.

Most foreign universities and student visas require an apostilled FBI background check. We handle both steps — the fingerprinting and the federal apostille — so you can focus on your trip, not the paperwork.

One place, both steps

Your FBI check and apostille, handled together

We capture your prints, submit to the FBI, and apostille the result through the U.S. Department of State — so your program gets exactly what it asked for.

Why you need it

What your program is really asking for

When a university or consulate asks for a "background check with apostille," they mean two things: an official FBI Identity History Summary, and an apostille that makes it valid in the destination country. Miss either piece and your application stalls.

We do both in one place — capture your prints, submit electronically to the FBI, then apostille the result through the U.S. Department of State. No juggling multiple vendors or mailing things around the country.

Timing tip: Start early. The apostille takes 7–10 business days on top of your FBI results — our turnaround is the fastest in the nation, but consulates have their own deadlines.
