What Is an FBI Background Check Apostille?
An FBI Identity History Summary, also known as an FBI background check, is a federal document used to verify criminal history records. When required for international use, it must receive a federal apostille from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., not from a state apostille office.
