If you’re an American living overseas and you’ve been asked for your FBI background check with an apostille, you don’t need to fly home. You get fingerprinted where you live, mail us the cards, and Anshin Mobile Notary & LiveScan takes it from there. We submit your request to the FBI in person, get the federal apostille from the U.S. Department of State, translate it if your country needs it, and ship the finished document to you.
Our FBI apostille page explains both options: in Los Angeles, or by mail from abroad.
Need an FBI background check apostilled? We submit your fingerprint cards to the FBI and handle the federal apostille. Translation, if you need it, is quoted case by case.
We help with every country. These guides cover the details for the countries we’re asked about most:
We also regularly help clients in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, Australia, Canada, Panama, Costa Rica, Argentina, Thailand and Taiwan.
Courier your packet securely to Anshin Mobile Notary & Livescan.
If your country needs the report translated, we provide the translation too.
For every step in detail, see our step-by-step guide to getting your FBI background check apostilled.
A U.S. citizen overseas prepares fingerprint cards and a passport for the FBI background check apostille process
Many countries want the report recent, often within 3 or 6 months, and the clock usually starts on the date the FBI issues it, not the apostille date. Tell us your deadline and we’ll plan around it.
If your country is part of the Apostille Convention, the federal apostille is all you need. Taiwan isn’t, so documents for Taiwan need legalization instead. Thailand joins the Convention on 28 February 2027; until then, documents for Thailand still go through Thai consulate legalization. Ask us and we’ll tell you which applies.
The FBI report shows what’s on file, and we can’t change it. If there’s an old California case on it, ask us about record sealing before you start.
