FBI BACKGROUND CHECK APOSTILLE SERVICE
A FBI background check may be required for use outside of the U.S. for many reasons. Some of these include applying for a visa to live, work, or study abroad and to apply for residency or citizenship in another country.

Power of Attorney Documents
Any documents that require notarization MUST be notarized prior to shipping them to our California service center. Documents that are not notarized will be returned to you. All documents submitted must be original copies unless the document has been certified by a California notary public (if allowed under California Notary Laws). Notarial wording and certificates will be reviewed upon receipt of your documents. If the notarial wording is not compliant, we will return your document to you.
Only original certified copies of vital records; birth, death, and marriage certificates will be accepted. To ensure a successful completion of your apostille order, it is best when vital records have been issued within the last 5 years and issued by a County Recorder/County Clerk's office. Vital records are certified by the issuing agency and do not require notarization. Any vital records we receive that are notarized will be returned to you.
