An FBI Background Check Apostille Service helps individuals prepare an FBI Identity History Summary for use in another country when an apostille or authentication is required. An FBI Identity History Summary is commonly used as a criminal history record for purposes such as immigration, international employment, residency, travel, licensing, adoption, education, and other overseas applications. The FBI explains that its Identity History Summary is based on fingerprint submissions and can be used to satisfy requirements for living, working, or traveling in a foreign country.
