Process of getting Embassy Attestation for FBI criminal background check Certificate
If you are travelling to countries outside the Hague Nation list ( countries such as UAE, Qatar ) then after the apostille you need Embassy attestation from the embassy of the particular country you are travelling. This Embassy attestation must be done by the Embassy in the US only.
This is called as full legalisation process.
Process for obtaining full legalisation of FBI Criminal background check certificate for non-Hague countries in India:
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 legalise 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 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.
