How do I get an FBI background check apostilled in Texas?

To apostille an FBI background check in Texas, you must first receive your official Identity History Summary from the FBI or an approved channeler. Because this is a federal document, it must be sent to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., rather than the Texas Secretary of State.

How long does the FBI background check apostille process take in 2026?

Federal apostille processing times currently vary, typically taking 4–8 weeks when submitted directly to the U.S. Department of State. Using an expedited courier service through Accurate Apostille can help navigate this window. We recommend starting the process at least two months before your international deadline.

Can a Texas Notary apostille my FBI background check?

While a Texas Notary can assist with application support and identifying documents, they cannot issue the apostille personally. FBI background checks require a federal apostille issued by the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications.

What is the difference between a state apostille and an FBI apostille?

State apostilles, issued by the Texas Secretary of State, are for documents like birth certificates or local notarizations. Federal apostilles are required for documents issued by federal agencies, such as FBI background checks, social security letters, or federal court documents.

Does Accurate Apostille provide the fastest FBI background check apostille service in the U.S.?

Yes! Accurate Apostille specializes in providing the fastest and most secure FBI background check apostille completion in the United States. We utilize expedited services and established relationships with the U.S. Department of State to significantly reduce processing times compared to standard mail-in services.
