Eliminate the Three-Location Hassle

Most immigration and visa applicants are told to get fingerprinted at one location, take those results to a certified translator, and then visit a third office for apostille authentication.

That means three separate appointments, multiple fees, and weeks of wasted coordination during an already stressful process. We built our practice to solve this: every service you need is available in our single San Jose office. Fingerprinting, translation, authentication — one visit, one team, zero runaround.

The Typical Way

Three Offices. Three Waits. Weeks of Stress.

Drive to a fingerprint center, wait for results, bring them to a translator, wait again, then make a third trip to an apostille provider. Multiple fees. Mounting anxiety as your visa deadline approaches.

Our Way

One Office. Everything Handled.

At our San Jose office, everything is completed in one place:

  • FBI & DOJ fingerprinting on-site
  • Certified document translation in-house
  • State & federal apostille authentication
  • Shipped to your door or picked up in person

Schedule Consultation
Why do I need an apostille for immigration?+
Foreign governments require authentication of your criminal background check before recognizing it as official. If the destination country is a Hague Convention member — over 124 countries — an apostille is the standard method. Without one, your background check will not be accepted by immigration authorities, embassies, or consulates.
Do I need both FBI and California DOJ checks?+
This depends on the destination country. Some require only the federal FBI report, while others require both FBI and a state-level DOJ check. Tell us your destination country when scheduling and we will advise on the exact documentation needed.
How long does the expedited apostille take?+
Our expedited FBI apostille takes approximately 15 business days from when we receive your FBI-issued digital PDF. Standard processing on your own takes 5 to 6 weeks. California DOJ times vary — contact us for the current estimate.
Will I need my background check translated?+
Many countries require your criminal background report translated into their official language by a certified translator. We provide certified translation at our office — no separate location needed. Contact us with your destination country to confirm.
Can I complete everything in one visit?+
Yes — that is our primary advantage. Fingerprinting is done on-site the same day. Once results arrive (24 to 48 hours for FBI), we proceed immediately with translation if needed and apostille submission. No coordinating with multiple offices.
Apostille vs. embassy legalization?+
An apostille is recognized by Hague Convention member countries and is a single-step process. Embassy legalization is required for non-Hague countries — it involves additional steps through the destination embassy and costs more. Contact us for guidance.
I am out of state — can you help?+
Absolutely. Upload your original FBI digital PDF from any state. We handle authentication remotely and ship to your address. For fingerprinting, visit any FBI-approved location near you first. See our FBI Apostille page for details.
Do you apostille other document types?+
Yes. We apostille birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, power of attorney, and more. TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services handles legal document preparation at our same office.
