International Use

Apostille for International Use

If your document will be used in another country, it may require an Apostille of The Hague before it can be accepted. The apostille authenticates the signature, capacity, and seal of the official who signed the document — it does not certify the contents of the document or guarantee automatic legal validity in the receiving country. Hague Convention recognition is subject to the Convention being in force between the issuing and receiving states, and to the receiving authority's own requirements.

FBI Background Check

FBI Background Check Apostille in Boca Raton

We help Boca Raton clients with FBI background checks for international use. The FBI Identity History Summary is a personal identification record — it is not an employment screening or professional licensing clearance. Agency-specific background screening for employment or licensing is a separate process. We do not issue FBI reports; we coordinate the full process from fingerprinting through federal apostille.

Services include

• FBI fingerprinting
• Fingerprint cards FD-258
• FBI channeling
• FBI Background Check apostille
• Certified translation
• Apostille of translation

Commonly required for

Certified Translation

Certified Translation Services in Boca Raton

Many countries require certified translation in addition to apostille. Translation format requirements — certified, notarized, or sworn — depend on the receiving country and authority. There is no automatic apostille of a translation; if the translation itself requires apostille, that is a separate step.

• Certified translations
• USCIS translations
• Notarized translations
• Sworn translations when required by receiving authority
• Apostille of translations
• Translations in 60+ languages
