Frequently asked questions
What is the FBI apostille and why do I need it?
The apostille is the international certification that validates the authenticity of the FBI report before foreign authorities, under the 1961 Hague Convention. Without an apostille, the document has no legal value outside the United States.
Do I need to travel to the United States?
No. The entire process is handled from our Bogotá office, with apostille coordination from Miami.
Is the apostille issued by the U.S. consulate in Colombia?
No. The apostille for federal FBI documents can only be issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We coordinate this for you.
Does it include physical document shipping?
Standard delivery is digital (apostilled PDF). International courier shipping can be quoted separately depending on the destination country.
How long does the entire process take?
For citizens/residents with Express Apostille: approximately 12–15 business days. For non-residents with Express Apostille: 7–8 weeks, due to the mandatory postal FD-258 process.
✓ Free retake guarantee – LiveScan only
If the FBI rejects your LiveScan fingerprints, we retake them at no charge.
In the event of FBI rejection due to fingerprint quality, Compliance Officers performs a new capture at no additional cost, provided the client presents the official FBI rejection letter with the rejection code issued by the FBI.
Applies exclusively to LiveScan fingerprints captured at our offices. Does not apply to the remote FD-258 service where the client self-captures fingerprints.
