How Do I Get FBI Apostille?

Step 1: Find a fingerprinting location 

The first step in the FBI Apostille process is finding a fingerprinting location near you that will be able to process your request. You need to ensure that the location you choose in an FBI Approved Channeler. 

Step 2: Schedule an FBI Background Check

Before you are able to submit a request for an FBI apostille, you must first request for an FBI Background Check. After this process is completed, you are able to submit the results to a licensed third party agency. 

Step 3: Notify the Agency You Need An Apostille

After your request for an FBI Background check, you can then contact an agency for an FBI Apostille. When getting an apostille, be aware that results take time to receive your results. 

A standard FBI Apostille service will take 8-12 weeks to receive your results. If you need your FBI Apostille completed faster, PrintScan offers Expedited Apostille Service that takes 7-10 business days. 

Step 4: Show up to the appointment with the documents required by the agency. 

These typically include a photo ID, the country you’re traveling to, and other personal information required by the agency. Contact the agency that is processing your FBI Apostille prior to your appointment to ensure you have all the necessary documents and information.
