Identity History Summary Checks & Apostille Request

Certain individuals may require a copy of their FBI background report for various personal, legal, or immigration-related purposes. Common reasons include:

• Challenging or Updating Your Record – Ensure accuracy or correct outdated information.
• Personal Review – Understand what appears on your own FBI background check.
• Court-Related Matters – Legal documentation or case proceedings.
• Work or Student Visas – Background verification for international employment or education.
• Foreign Residency & Travel (e.g., Aliyah) – Documentation for relocating abroad.
• International Adoption – Required background screening for adoption procedures.
• Other Personal Reasons – Individual inquiries into FBI records.

For individuals who need their FBI report authenticated for use in foreign countries, ACT Biometrics provides Apostille Services to certify documents for international validity. An apostille ensures that your background check is legally recognized abroad for purposes such as:

• Work or student visas
• Foreign residency applications
• International adoption
• Other legal or official requirements

ACT Biometrics handles Apostille Requests for documents destined for countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention, ensuring proper authentication from start to finish.  Apostille processing typically takes 5 to 11 weeks, depending on federal processing times.

If you must travel before your apostille is completed, we can mail the finalized document to you overseas, as long as you cover the applicable shipping fees.
