Stuck in the federal apostille maze?

If you’re nodding at any of these, you’re exactly who we help every week.

An embassy or employer abroad demands an apostilled FBI report — with a hard deadline you can’t miss.

You’ve been told to mail everything to Washington, DC and wait weeks with no tracking and no answers.

State vs. federal is confusing. An FBI check is a federal document, so the California Secretary of State can’t apostille it.

A prior apostille was rejected for the wrong authority or an outdated process — and now time is short.

Everything under one roof

We handle the whole federal apostille — start to finish

Fingerprinting, the FBI report, and U.S. Department of State authentication, all in one San Jose office.

Walk-in fingerprinting

“My Italian dual-citizenship lawyer needed an apostilled FBI report in two weeks. They fingerprinted me the same morning and it was back, sealed, well before my deadline.”

— Marco R., San Jose

“I had no idea the FBI check was a federal apostille, not a state one. They explained it, did everything in-house, and I never mailed a thing to DC.”

Questions, answered

FBI apostille questions, answered

Is an FBI background check a state or federal apostille?
It’s federal. An FBI Identity History Summary is a U.S. government record, so it’s authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not the California Secretary of State. We handle the federal submission for you.
How fast can I get my FBI apostille?
Our expedited service returns your apostilled report in about 9 business days when your document is in our office by Wednesday (12 business days if it arrives after Wednesday). If you still need to be fingerprinted, our bundle covers that too within the same timeline.
Do I have to mail anything to Washington, DC?
No. We prepare and submit everything to the U.S. Department of State and return the apostilled original to you with tracking. You never chase a DC mailroom.
I don’t have my FBI report yet. Can you still help?
Yes. Walk into our San Jose office and we fingerprint you on-site, pull your FBI report as an approved channeler, and route it straight to the federal apostille, all in one place.
Which countries accept an apostille?
The 125+ Hague Convention countries accept an apostille. For non-Hague countries we coordinate embassy legalization instead. Tell us your destination and we’ll confirm the path.
How much does an FBI apostille cost?
The FBI apostille is $350 and takes 9 business days when your document is in our office by Wednesday (12 business days if it arrives after Wednesday) without fingerprinting. The full bundle with walk-in fingerprinting is $450, also 9 business days when your document is in our office by Wednesday (12 business days if it arrives after Wednesday). Translation and government fees, when required, are quoted separately.
