What Is an FBI Identity History Summary?

An FBI Identity History Summary, commonly called an FBI background check or “rap sheet,” contains information associated with fingerprints submitted to the FBI. It may include reported arrests and other criminal history information. If no identity history is found, the FBI provides a response indicating that result.

An FBI report is different from a local police clearance, a state background check or a commercial background screening. Before requesting a report, confirm the exact document required by the receiving organization.

When Might You Need an FBI Background Check Apostille?

A foreign authority may request an apostilled FBI report for residency, long-term visas, employment, study, citizenship-related procedures or other administrative purposes.

Requirements vary by country and institution. An apostille is not automatically required for every application involving an FBI report. Ask the receiving authority whether it requires an apostille, another form of authentication, a translation or additional documents.

Your FBI Report Follows the Federal Process

An FBI Identity History Summary is a federal document. When an apostille is required, the report follows the U.S. Department of State process rather than the Florida state apostille process.

A Florida state apostille does not replace the federal apostille required for an FBI-issued report. We review your document and destination instructions before explaining the appropriate next step.

Do not notarize your original FBI report for federal apostille processing. Contact us before altering your document or adding a notarial certificate.

What Does the Apostille Verify?

An apostille authenticates the origin of a public document, including the relevant signature, the capacity of the signer and, where applicable, the seal or stamp.

It does not change the contents of your FBI report, remove criminal history information or establish your eligibility for a visa, residency permit or job. The receiving authority decides whether the document satisfies its requirements.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

Already Have Your FBI Background Check?

Start with a document review before mailing your report or planning around a deadline. Our team provides clear instructions based on your document, destination and requested timeline.

What to Have Ready

Our coordination service begins with an eligible FBI Identity History Summary already issued to you. For the initial review, have the following information ready:

  • Destination country and receiving organization.
  • Report issue date.
  • Whether you received an electronic PDF or paper document.
  • Instructions provided by the receiving authority.
  • Requested completion date and return destination.

Document Review & Safe Submission

If you have an electronic report, contact us for submission instructions before sending sensitive information. Keep the complete report in its original format; do not edit its contents, remove pages or combine it with unrelated records.

Plan Around Your Report’s Issue Date

There is no single acceptance period that applies to every foreign procedure. The receiving authority may require a report issued within a specific number of days or months.

An apostille does not refresh your report’s issue date or extend the receiving authority’s acceptance window. Allow time for obtaining the report, federal processing, any required translation and delivery.

Not sure which service is right for you?Call us and we’ll help you choose.

CALL NOW FOR AN ESTIMATE

Government workload, holidays, submission requirements, document corrections and transportation can affect completion. Processing times are estimates, not guarantees. Selecting an expedited coordination option does not guarantee a government completion date.

Florida apostille estimates of 24–48 business hours do not apply to FBI reports.

PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS

Guidance for Your Next Step

Need to Obtain Your FBI Report First?

Start with the official FBI Identity History Summary request instructions. Depending on your eligibility, you may request your report directly from the FBI or use an FBI-approved channeler.

A channeler helps transmit fingerprint submissions and related information to the FBI and deliver the resulting report. Confirm its eligibility rules, fingerprint requirements and delivery format before choosing a provider. Channeler eligibility restrictions apply; not every applicant can use this route.

Our apostille coordination service starts after an eligible report has been issued to you. Florida Apostillar does not issue FBI background checks and does not represent itself as an FBI-approved channeler.

FBI Apostille and Translation Are Separate Services

An apostille authenticates a document’s origin. A translation makes its contents available in another language.

Your receiving authority may require a translation of the FBI report, the apostille certificate or both. It may also specify who can prepare the translation and whether additional certification is needed.

Confirm those instructions before ordering a translation. Florida Apostillar can discuss certified translation coordination as a separate service, subject to the receiving authority’s requirements.

AVOID PREVENTABLE DELAYS

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Choosing the Wrong Background Check

A local or state report may not satisfy a request for an FBI Identity History Summary. Confirm the document name before ordering.

Using State Processing for a Federal Report

An FBI-issued document requires the applicable federal route. Notarization and a state apostille do not substitute for it.

Assuming Every Service Has the Same Timeline

Federal and state processing are different. Request an estimate specifically for your FBI document.

Overlooking Translation or Document Age Requirements

A report may need additional preparation or may be too old for the receiving organization. Review those conditions before submission.

Waiting Until Your Deadline

Contact us early. Government processing and transportation may affect the date your completed documents become available.
