What to Submit
Start with any document. Upload a clear file for True Copy Processing or prepare the physical document for Original Document Processing.
Destination Country Is Required
Apostilles are used for documents being presented abroad, not domestically within the United States. Every submission must include a destination country outside the U.S.
For non-Hague destinations, we offer authentication and legalization services.
Apostille vs. Authentication Certificate
Apostille
Issued when the destination country participates in the Hague Apostille Convention. A single certificate authenticates the document for acceptance abroad.
Authentication Certificate
Required when the destination country is not a Hague participant. The process typically involves additional steps, including embassy or consulate legalization.
Upload Standards
- Full-color scan (no black-and-white)
- All pages included (front and back where applicable)
- No cropping: edges, seals, and stamps must be fully visible
- Signatures and seals must be clear and legible
For FBI federal intake, upload the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website, or send the original physical FBI document. A scan or photocopy of a printed FBI report is not used for federal processing.
True Copy vs. Original Document Processing
Choose True Copy Processing to start with an upload, or Original Document Processing to mail the document that will be submitted.
Documents We Commonly Process
Start with any document and select the processing path you want. FBI background checks use the Federal Apostille intake described above.
