## Service 2: Apostille Services (Nationwide)

### What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated authority (typically a Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State) that authenticates the origin of a public document. It is required for documents to be legally recognized in any of the 124 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Without an apostille, documents may be rejected abroad for employment, immigration, education, marriage, business registration, or legal proceedings.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How long does mobile fingerprinting take?
Our mobile live scan appointments typically take 15-20 minutes per person. We arrive with all necessary equipment and handle the entire process efficiently at your location.

### What areas do you serve for fingerprinting?
We provide mobile fingerprinting services throughout South Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Same-day service is available in most areas.

### Can you apostille an FBI background check?
Yes. FBI background check apostilles are one of our most requested services. Since FBI reports are federal documents, they must be apostilled by the U.S. Department of State — not by a state Secretary of State. We handle the entire process for you.

### Do I need to notarize my document before getting an apostille?
It depends on the document type. Government-issued documents (birth certificates, court orders, FBI reports) typically do not need notarization. Private documents (personal letters, translations, affidavits) must first be notarized before apostille.

### What's the difference between a federal and state apostille?
Federal apostilles are issued by the U.S. Department of State for federally-issued documents like FBI background checks. State apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State for state-issued documents like birth certificates, marriage licenses, and corporate filings.

### How does apostille shipping work?
Standard domestic shipping is included free. Expedited domestic mail is +$100. International standard shipping is +$100. Expedited international is +$200. All shipments include tracking.

### What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards and debit cards through our secure online booking system. All payments are processed through Stripe for maximum security.

### Do you offer same-day fingerprinting?
Yes, same-day appointments are often available for both office visits and mobile service. Book online or call (305) 340-2911 to check availability.
