Does your Georgia-issued background check need an apostille for use overseas? Whether it's for dual citizenship, international work, or foreign marriage, we can handle this complex process for you.
Start by determining the type of background check required - city, county, state, or federal. Usually, the requesting authority will specify this. All Georgia-issued background checks receive a Georgia apostille. However, if you require an FBI Background Check Apostille, it will be processed by the US Department of State, as it's a federal document.
Local police department, sheriff’s state office, or Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) may issue your background check. Ensure it is properly notarized by a Georgia-licensed public notary using the correct notarial affidavit for Georgia.
For background checks issued by the GBI, you'll first need to get your fingerprint results through the LiveScan service and request a signed letter from a Criminal Identification Specialist before submitting it for an Apostille.
If you're abroad, you can still obtain a background check by contacting your local US Embassy/Consulate for fingerprinting assistance.
In non-Hague Apostille Convention countries, additional authentication through the U.S. Department of State and legalization through the Embassy / Consulate office might be required.
To obtain an Apostille on an FBI background check in Georgia, contact an approved FBI Channeler or the FBI directly. Most FBI background checks are digital, allowing you to simply email us a copy for processing. If you have a hard copy, please mail the original document to us.
