FBI Background Check Apostille

Understanding Apostilles and Authentications for International Document Certification

When dealing with international document verification, it’s essential to understand the difference between an Apostille and an Authentication, as these certifications ensure your documents are recognized abroad.

What Is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a specialized certification issued by the Secretary of State that validates the authenticity of documents for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961. This international treaty simplifies the legalization process by allowing documents to be recognized across member countries without additional certification. You can find the list of participating countries here.

Common documents that may require an apostille include:

• FBI background checks
• Birth, marriage, and death certificates
• Educational diplomas and transcripts
• Corporate documents (e.g., business licenses, articles of incorporation)
• Legal documents such as powers of attorney and court orders

If you need your documents to be accepted in a Hague Convention country, obtaining an apostille is the most efficient way to ensure their validity.

What Is an Authentication?

An Authentication is another form of certification, but it is issued by the U.S. Department of State. This is required in two situations:

1. For documents intended for use in countries that are NOT part of the Hague Convention of 1961.
2. For federal documents, such as FBI reports and background checks, which require certification from the U.S. State Department before being recognized internationally.
