What Does It Mean To Apostille An FBI Background Check?

An Apostille (ah-po-steel) is a French word meaning certification.

Individuals who travel abroad to live, work, or attend school may be asked at some point to have documents Apostilled or Authenticated.

Countries that are part of the "hauge convention" require travelers to have their FBI report apostilled before they can enter the country. You can find a list of those countries here.
