Important terms of the remote service

• Shipping to Miami: international courier costs to our office are paid by the client.
• Compliance Officers pre-audit: before submitting to the FBI, we review the quality and legibility of the fingerprints. This audit significantly reduces — but does not eliminate — the risk of rejection.
• FBI rejection risk: since our staff does not capture the fingerprints directly, the FBI may reject them for poor quality. If this happens, a reprocessing fee applies:
  • 50% of the initial value for the no-apostille package ($155).
  • USD $78 for the Express or Regular apostille packages.
  Shipping costs of a new card are also paid by the client.
• Digital delivery only: apostille packages include email delivery of the document. Does not include physical shipping to destination; international return courier is quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions

Can I really process the FBI report from my country without traveling?

Yes. This is the solution for people outside the U.S. and Colombia. We email you the FD-258 card, you take your fingerprints following our guide or at a local police station, and you ship the card to Miami by courier.

Where do I take my fingerprints?

You have two options: (1) self-administered following our step-by-step guide using black fingerprint ink, or (2) at a local police station that offers FD-258 card fingerprinting. Many countries provide this service at judicial police stations or forensic institutions.

What if the FBI rejects my fingerprints?

A reprocessing fee applies: 50% of the initial value if you purchased the no-apostille package, or USD $78 if you purchased an apostille package. Before any submission to the FBI, we perform an internal quality audit to minimize this probability.

How long does shipping the card to Miami take?

It depends on the country and the courier you choose. We recommend services with international tracking (DHL, FedEx, UPS). Processing times begin when the card arrives at our office.

Is the apostille issued by the U.S. consulate in my country?

No. The apostille for federal FBI documents can only be issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle this for you from Miami.

Do I receive the physical document at my address?

The service includes digital delivery of the apostilled document. If you need the physical document in your country, we can quote international courier shipping.
