FBI Background Check Apostille Services

Expedited Federal Authentication & Worldwide Delivery

Need an FBI Background Check (Identity History Summary) apostilled for a visa, work permit, or residency abroad? Boston Notary Service specializes in the complex federal authentication process. While standard mail-in requests can take 6–8 weeks, our expedited in-person handling in Washington, D.C., ensures your documents are ready in a fraction of the time.

Why You Need a Federal Apostille

Because an FBI Background Check is a federal document issued by the Department of Justice, it cannot be apostilled by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. It must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications.

Our service bridges the gap between Boston and D.C., providing a secure chain of custody for your sensitive background reports.

Our 3-Step Expedited Process

1. FBI Background Check Assistance

We guide you through the initial request process to ensure you receive the correct searchable PDF or original hard copy required for federal authentication.

2. In-Person D.C. Submission & Retrieval

We don't just put your document in the mail and hope for the best.

• We utilize daily in-person drop-offs at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
• This bypasses the massive mail-in backlogs, reducing your wait time from months to approximately 7–12 business days.
• Our team reviews your report before submission to ensure it meets strict federal requirements, preventing costly rejections.

3. Secure Worldwide Delivery

Once the federal Apostille is attached, we provide expedited return shipping. Whether you are still in Massachusetts or have already moved abroad, we ship via:

• FedEx (Domestic & International)
• UPS / DHL
• Secure tracking provided for every shipment.
