If you're planning to work, study, or immigrate abroad, you may need an FBI background check. Unlike state-issued documents, these are federal documents issued by the U.S. Department of Justice and must be authenticated through a different process.
The FBI provides Identity History Summary Checks, often referred to as criminal background checks. For international use, these documents require authentication from the U.S. Department of State, rather than a state-level apostille. This is because the document originates from a federal agency rather than a state authority.
The process typically involves obtaining your FBI background check, having it notarized if necessary, and then submitting it to the U.S. Department of State for authentication. Some countries also require additional verification from their embassy or consulate.
