Yes, but we can get it completed in  14-days Vs. the 8-week DIY wait and potential for rejection!

After completing the form before, select the "Attach (PDF) documents here" - found and the end of required information and above the submission button

Not likely - however, we will review your documents upon submission. If we have questions or need to take additional steps prior to submitting for Federal Apostille or Authentication, we will contact you. 

FBI Background Checks can be in PDF format, some other documents must be originals. 

Yes, a Missouri or State Apostille is for notarized documents or state vital records only. Federal documents, such as an FBI Background Check, IRS documents, Social Security documents, US Patent & Trademark, and USDA are all Federal Documents that require a Federal Apostille .

There are two options for processing time - 1.) Regular processing = takes a minimum of 4 weeks, but can take up to 12 weeks. 2.) Rush processing = takes an estimated 14 business days, add 3+ days for FedEx return time. 

 No. There is no federal office in Missouri that issues apostilles. All federal documents must be sent to the Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. We handle this entire logistics chain for you, including secure tracking and expedited handling. 

Yes. This is our most requested service. We can process the digital PDF version of your FBI Identity History Summary immediately. We ensure the federal apostille is properly attached so it is legally recognized by foreign consulates and embassies.

After completing the required information below and submitting your documents, continue down the page to select the type of service you want and make payment. We use Square payment processing that accepts all major credit/debit cards, GPay, Cash App, and Afterpay.  You will receive a receipt for your payment. 

Absolutely. At Mobile Notary St Louis, we prioritize your privacy. Your FBI background checks and federal documents are handled via secure, encrypted channels. We are a locally-owned, Missouri-bonded business with over 250 five-star reviews, ensuring your sensitive data is treated with the highest professional standards. 

For Federal Apostilles (like FBI background checks), we can often work from the official PDF digital original you received. If you have a physical paper document issued by a federal agency, please text us a photo first at 636-293-4493 so we can confirm if it is eligible for electronic submission or if the physical original is required 

Federal documents must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., rather than the local Secretary of State office in Jefferson City. Because they handle requests for the entire country, the processing queue is longer. We offer a 14-business-day RUSH option to help bypass the standard 4-6 week wait. 

We ensure your document receives the official federal seal required for use in countries that are members of the Hague Convention. If your destination country is not a member, we can assist with the additional "Authentication" and "Embassy Legalization" steps required 

Most foreign countries require your background check to be "recent"—usually issued within the last 3 to 6 months. If your document is older than 90 days, we recommend checking with the requesting authority abroad before starting the process to avoid rejection.
