FBI Background Check Apostille: How to Get It Done Without Delays
Why This Matters
If you’ve ever applied for a job overseas, pursued dual citizenship, or volunteered abroad, chances are someone told you, “You’ll need an apostilled FBI background check.”
Sounds simple, right? Until you start Googling. Suddenly you’re knee-deep in government jargon, forms, and 5+ week wait times.
Let me save you the headache. I’ve walked hundreds of clients through this exact process — and I can help you get it right the first time.
What Is an FBI Background Check Apostille?
An apostille is an official certification that makes your FBI background check valid in another country. Think of it as the “international stamp of approval.”
You’ll usually need it if you’re:
Moving abroad for work
Teaching English overseas
Applying for foreign residency or citizenship
Volunteering internationally
Marrying abroad
Without the apostille, your FBI report is just paper. With it, it becomes legally recognized overseas.
The Confusing DIY Route
Here’s what most people try (and where they get stuck):
Wait for the report.
Print it off and think you’re ready.
Mail it to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Wait 5+ weeks for it to come back… hoping it doesn’t get lost.
I can’t tell you how many calls I get from people panicked because they mailed it themselves and are now stuck in limbo.

Here’s the faster, stress-free route I use with my clients:
Step 1: You send me your FBI report (PDF copy works — no need for a hard copy).
Step 2: I prepare the apostille request and package it for the Department of State.
Step 3: My team hand-delivers it in Washington, D.C. (no waiting in a mail pile).
Step 4: Your apostilled FBI background check is back to you in under 2 weeks — often faster.
Real Client Story
A client from Indianapolis needed his apostilled FBI background check to start a teaching contract in South Korea. He had only three weeks before departure.
If he mailed it himself? He would’ve missed his start date.
Instead, he contacted me. I walked him through exactly what to upload, handled the paperwork, and his apostilled FBI report was back in his hands in 10 business days.
He told me, “Kerrie, you literally saved my job.”
That’s what I want for every client — peace of mind, deadlines met, and no sleepless nights wondering if your documents are stuck in a pile somewhere.
