Are you moving to another country and want to become a citizen or permanent resident? Or maybe you need to apply for a specialized Visa such as a work visa for another country?
Chances are if you answered yes, you’ll need an FBI Background Check to attach to the application. And if you do need the background check for use in a foreign country, its probable an Apostille and/or Legalization will be required.
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille provides the next level of authentication when a US document will be used in a foreign country. Countries who belong to the Hague Convention have agreed to a standard of authentication. In the case of a Federal Document, the US Department of State provides the Apostille. Once you have obtained the FBI background check, AZ Roving Notary can expedite the apostille process for you.
What is a Legalization?
For countries that aren’t members of the Hague convention, sometimes a legalization or additional authentication is required. Usually this means once the document is received back from the US Dept of State, it is forwarded on to the country’s Embassy or Consulate for final legalization of use in that country. AZ Roving Notary can expedite this process for you as well.
