What an Apostille Does
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document — a signature, seal, or stamp — so it’s accepted in another country that belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention. For countries outside the Convention, the document instead needs an authentication (legalization).
California documents are apostilled by the California Secretary of State; FBI background-check reports are authenticated at the federal level. We handle either on your behalf and tell you which path your destination country requires.
Common Reasons
- Foreign residency, work visas, or dual citizenship
- International marriage, adoption, or family petitions
- Studying or having a degree recognized abroad
- Powers of attorney and corporate documents used overseas
- FBI background-check reports required by a foreign government
- Single-status affidavits for marriage in another country

Your Privacy & Sensitive Information Are Protected
We treat your personal information and documents as confidential. The details you submit here are used only to prepare and process your apostille order. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing.
Your FBI background-check report is uploaded through a private, upload-only link. Only Fingerscan Digital can open it — no other client can see, download, or access your file. Physical documents you mail to us are handled confidentially and returned by tracked shipping.
We never collect card or payment details on this website. After we review your order, payment is collected separately through a secure payment link, so your financial information stays with the payment processor, not on this form.
Because background-check reports and vital records are sensitive, we limit who handles them, retain them only as long as needed to complete your order, and dispose of unneeded copies securely. If you have questions about how your information is handled, call us at (408) 766-3528 or email Info@fingerscan-digital.com.
