What is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public document—like a birth certificate, court record, or diploma—for use in another country.
If you’re sending documents abroad for school, marriage, business, or legal reasons, the receiving country may require an apostille before they’ll accept them as valid.
We handle the apostille process for you—from document prep to delivery—so you don’t have to navigate confusing government steps alone.
At Illuminated Docs, we specialize in FBI apostille services for background checks required for visas, immigration, study abroad, overseas employment, and more.
Whether you need standard or expedited processing, we guide you through every step—from PDF submission to certified delivery.
