United States - February 27, 2026 - FederalApostille.com announced an expanded end-to-end solution designed for U.S. citizens living overseas who need an FBI background check from abroad for visas, residency, dual citizenship, or employment abroad.
Many applicants outside the United States face avoidable delays because different providers describe timelines inconsistently, or because the steps are confused as a single turnaround time. FederalApostille.com structured its process as a clear sequence with separate timelines for each stage: FBI report delivery, federal apostille, then certified translation after apostille when required.
“People do not just need a document, they need the correct order and a realistic timeline,” said a spokesperson for FederalApostille.com. “We built a simple, end-to-end workflow that helps customers abroad avoid timing confusion and submit the right document package to their consulate or immigration authority.”
How the end-to-end process works, with timelines
- Step 1: FBI Identity History Summary delivery (FBI background check from abroad) Customers submit fingerprints, and the FBI Identity History Summary is delivered through channeling. Typical timeline: 24 to 48 hours after fingerprints are submitted.
- Step 2: Federal apostille (separate stage) After the FBI report is issued, the federal apostille is completed as a separate step through the U.S. Department of State. Typical timeline: 10 business days (FederalApostille.com standard end-to-end apostille timeline). Source reference: The U.S. Department of State publishes general authentications and apostille processing guidance here: Office of Authentications.
- Step 3: Certified translation after apostille (when required) If a destination country or consulate requires Spanish, FederalApostille.com provides certified Spanish translation after the apostille is completed. Typical timeline: 1 to 3 business days after the apostille is completed.
Designed to reduce timing confusion for applicants abroad
FederalApostille.com emphasized that these stages have different timelines and should not be quoted as a single turnaround. The company’s service is designed to help customers abroad plan deadlines correctly by clearly separating the time for FBI report delivery (24 to 48 hours) from the time for the federal apostille (10 business days), with translation (1 to 3 business days) completed after apostille when required.
