Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do nurses need apostilled to work abroad?

The receiving authority or employer specifies which documents require apostille. Confirm the checklist with the hiring institution or licensing body before submitting.

Does my nursing license need to be apostilled by the state or federal government?

Your nursing license is issued by the state board of nursing and must be apostilled by the Secretary of State of the issuing state. Timing and options confirmed after document review.

How long does the FBI background check apostille take for nurses?

FBI background checks are federal documents apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. Standard processing takes 6-8 weeks; processing times vary by agency and document type. We recommend starting at least 3 months before your departure date.

Can you apostille documents for nursing positions in the UK, Saudi Arabia, or UAE?

Yes. We apostille documents for nursing positions in all Hague Convention member countries. For non-member countries, we handle consular legalization. Confirm the specific credential package required by the receiving authority.

Prepare your documents with confidence

For a nursing file, check whether the recipient is asking for license verification, education, clinical training or employment evidence. Confirm whether any records must be delivered directly by the issuer.

A healthcare credential package may involve several independent issuers: a licensing board, a school, an employer and a background-check agency. A document accepted for employment may differ from one required for professional registration. Use the receiving health regulator’s instructions to decide which records to obtain, how they must be certified and who must send them.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Confirm whether license verification must be sent directly by the issuing board; an apostilled copy may not replace that submission.

Check whether transcripts, clinical hours and employment history must cover a specific period or include supporting attachments.

Confirm the background-check issuer, required document age and translation format before placing orders.

Can one apostille cover all my healthcare credentials?

Records from different issuers may need separate certifications and different authentication routes. Have the complete checklist reviewed so each record is prepared in the form the receiving regulator accepts.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
