FBI Background Checks are processed quickly at the New York State level using a "Document Authenticity Affidavit" and often a generic translation that you will sign to swear the document is the exact version sent to you. Currently, SWITZERLAND* will only accept your FBI document with a FEDERAL APOSTILLE. There may be an occasion where you will be asked to provide a FEDERAL APOSTILLE of this document. Would you like to add a Federal version as well? *

No. If my New York State Apostille is rejected I will pay $199 to file a Federal version through Washington and wait 8+ weeks.
Yes. I would like to ADD the Federal Apostille now for an additional $169 and understand this document will "follow" the NYS version in 8+ weeks from payment.
Please explain this to me in further detail so I can make a more informed decision.

*We experienced one rejection from an immigration attorney in Portugal (May of 2022) for a dual citizen application, however the Federal Apostille submission immediately corrected the issue. Some law firms will not submit documents because they are unsure. We will explain this on a case-by-case basis.

The Federal Apostille application form being sent to Virginia is completely separate from the New York process. Would you like a PDF “proof” that you can show the consulate, school, employer or VISA expediter? *

No. But if they request it I will just request it if needed for $99 later!
Yes. Please add this $49 option so I can supply instant “proof” in case I am asked if a Washington DC Federal Apostille was ordered.

*FBI Apostille requests are sent to Washington DC in bulk and we must redact any information not pertaining to you for the “PDF Proof” scan. It is helpful if perform this service at the time of your order.

And where will this apostille be used? Note that various Consulates in NYC have strict rules for Apostilled documents. *

Choose and then click the "X" in the right corner!

Great! If you're working with a law firm please share the exact instructions regarding what they require. Some law firms will ask you to obtain a separate Apostille for each document. Our "Guaranteed Acceptance" add-on option does not include law firms, VISA application processers, private companies, etc., only "actual" government entities. Please click to let us know you read this. *

Yes. I get it. I'll make sure I forward the exact instructions from the law firm.

How many pages in your apostille? *

*$149 is for SINGLE document Apostille service - standard service mailed to you directly from Albany. ALL NOTARY FEES INCLUDED! If this is for a NYS document, it must already be exemplified if outside Westchester.

Over 26 pages? OK please take note of this and agree you at least read it: *

When an apostille contains over 26 pages, there is a chance the pages may separate jeopordizing the integrity of the New York attachment seal. When over 30 pages, the Department of State will sometimes "staple" the extra pages where some countries may reject the additional pages. In these cases our "unconditional acceptance guarantee" will not apply unless your order is modified to split the pages into multiple apostilles. Please click to acknowledge you understand this.

Do you need more than 1 apostille? *

No, just one.
Need 2, I understand pricing is PER apostille
Need 3, I understand pricing is PER apostille
Need 4, I understand pricing is PER apostille
Need 5, I understand pricing is PER apostille
Need 6, I understand pricing is PER apostille
I need more than 6 apostilles

KOREA is notorious for requiring every page to have its own apostille cover page, while DOMINICAN REPUBLIC accepts unlimited assorted pages. Cost? For example, 2 Power of Attorney's with 2 pages is $169 x 2 = $338 for Albany service. Good news! If you choose $199 10 day expedited service, the fee is applied "on top of" the entire order - not each apostille!

Third, do you need any pages translated? *

No.
Yes, please translate my pages AND/OR vital documents!

These translations are designed to ensure the acceptance of your documents. They are not intended for international matters where legal or linguistic scrutiny is required, such as a power of attorney. These translations should be completed and verified by a law firm.

I need the translation: *

Translated to: *

How many “vital documents” (birth, death, marriage license, etc.) will you need translated? *

Translations are formatted to look and feel like the original. Single page means "moderate legal level" with 400 words or less. Queens marriage docs are a minimum of 2 documents.

How many “PDF of MS WORD” pages will you need translated? *

These discounted rates are for documents such as power-of-attorney, minor permission to travel, affidavits of being single, etc.
