Process for obtaining full legalization of FBI Criminal background check certificate for non-Hague countries in Hyderabad
As non-Hague countries aren’t part of the Hague Convention, a simple apostille by the state or federal government isn’t sufficient for legalization. Embassy attestation is necessary to legalize documents for specific countries. For instance, for the UAE, both apostille and UAE Embassy attestation are required.
The steps for obtaining Embassy attestation for US documents in Bangalore are:
- – Notary Public attestation (required only for photocopy attestation).
- – State Secretary Apostille (issued by the Secretary of State, for FBI Photocopy Apostille ).
- – USDOS Authentication or Federal government Authentication.
- – Embassy attestation (submission to the Embassy of the destination country).
Note: Some embassies accept apostilled photocopies, while others mandate original documents. Enquire with the embassy or contact us for exact requirements.
Federal documents like FBI Criminal Background checks don’t require state apostille (SOS) and proceed directly to USDOS for authentication for original document.
The above steps constitute the full legalization process, typically taking 8-12 weeks to complete. It’s advisable to begin applications early or consult with us to expedite the process.
