At FBI Express, we make the process fast, secure, and affordable, helping you get your apostilled background check without the delays and confusion often involved in federal document authentication.

Why an FBI Background Check Apostille Is Needed for Dual Citizenship

When you apply for dual citizenship, the foreign country’s authorities must verify that you have a clean criminal record in the United States. The FBI Background Check is the most reliable document for this purpose because it is issued directly by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.


However, before it can be recognized by another country, your FBI Background Check must be authenticated through an apostille. This apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State and serves as official proof that your background check is legitimate and was issued by a federal agency.


Countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention will require an apostille, while those that are not may request embassy or consulate legalization instead. FBI Express handles both scenarios, ensuring your document meets the exact legal requirements of your second citizenship country.
