In order to apostille your background check, you must mail in the original or a certified copy to our office for processing.  Digital FBI background checks can be sent by email to our Washington DC apostille office.  A Background check issued from the local Police, Sheriff, or State office can only be authenticated from the State of issue.  The Secretary of State does not have the authority to authenticate documents issued from another State. For example, if your background check is from the State of California, the State of California is the only state that can issue the apostille.  Another example is if your background check is from New York, only the State of New York can issue the apostille.

Local Police Station Background Check – If the requesting country is requesting a local Police background check, then all you need to do is have a letter drafted and notarized by the local police department.  Once your background check is ready to be picked-up, you will need to contact a local traveling notary to meet with the Officer to notarize his/her signature on the document.  The notary will also need to use the correct notarial wording for the State.  Once complete, mail the notarized background check with our order forms to our office for processing.

Local Sheriff’s Department Background Check – If the requesting country is requesting a local Sheriff’s Department background check, then all you need to do is have a letter drafted and notarized by the local Sheriff’s department.  Once your background check is ready to be picked-up, you will need to contact a local traveling notary to meet with the Deputy to notarize his/her signature on the document.  The notary will also need to use the correct notarial wording for the State.  .  Once complete, mail the notarized background check with our order forms to our office for processing.

Department of Justice Background Check(DOJ) – Office of the Attorney General – Obtaining a background check from the State’s Department of Justice can be a little more complicated.  For example, if you are in California, you’ll need to contact the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and obtained a signed letter after you have received the digital results.  The Office of the Attorney General of your State will provide you step-by-step directions.  Please note that not all state offices issue a background check.  They may direct you to the local Police or Sheriff.

FBI Background check – The first step in obtaining your FBI Background Check is to contact an FBI Approved Channeler. An FBI Channeler will provide you step by step instructions including sending you a fingerprint card.

US Embassy Apostille – US Federal Apostille

April 12, 2019 by

Are you in a foreign country and need to visit the local U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office to apostille your documents?

The most common documents we process from a U.S. Embassy and for another country:

  • Single Status Affidavit
  • Notarized Documents
  • Assisting in FBI Background Checks

A U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office located outside of the USA can assist you with notarizing your documents but they are unable to assist you in obtaining an apostille. For example, you can visit the local U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office to sign and notarize your documents with a U.S. Federal notary public. They can also assist you in creating a single status affidavit if you are planning to get married in the country you are in.

At some U.S. Embassies, the staff can also assist you with obtaining an FBI background check apostille. They can help you roll your fingerprints for the FBI Channeler or the FBI directly.

Remember, a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate does not issue apostilles. The apostille will be issued through the U.S. Department of State – Office of Authentication in Washington, D.C. and for a country other than the USA.  Our office in Washington DC can apostille your documents in four business days.  We also provide FedEx/UPS overnight return shipping at no additional cost.

For example, if you are a U.S. Citizen in Russia and need to sign and notarize documents for the Netherlands, you can visit the local U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office and have your documents signed and notarized there. Once notarized, you can mail in these original documents to our Washington DC apostille office so we can obtain the apostille.

In addition to obtaining apostilles from the U.S. Federal government, we can also obtain apostilles from all 50 US states. USA Apostille

IRS Form 6166 Apostille – US Residency Certificate Apostille

March 28, 2019 by

Do you need an apostille on IRS Form 6166?

At National Apostille Inc., we take the guesswork out of getting an apostille on your IRS documents.  Our trained and knowledgeable staff are available Monday – Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

U.S. treaty partners require the IRS to certify that the company or person claiming treaty benefits is a resident of the United States for the federal tax purposes. The IRS provides this residency certification on Form 6166.  This letter is typically referred to U.S. Residency Certification.

Form 6166 is a letter printed on U.S. Department of Treasury stationary certifying that the company or person is a resident of the United States for purposes of income tax laws of the United States. You may use this form to claim income tax treaty benefits and certain other tax benefits in Hague Apostille Countries.

Here is an example of IRS Form 6166:

If you are planning to teach in a country who has a tax treaty with the United States, you can possibly avoid being taxed twice.  We recommend that you contact the IRS to know if the country has a tax treaty with the United States.

Many business set up representation in foreign countries in order to conduct business in that country.  If the country has a tax treaty with the United States, the individual or company must provide proof to the foreign government in order to qualify for the reduced tax rate.  Form 6166 is also used to claim exemption from a VAT (Value Added Tax) imposed by a foreign country.

Tax treaties may allow residents of foreign countries to be taxed at a reduced rate.  This helps prevent double taxation or a reduction in taxes owed.

In order to obtain an apostille on Form 6166, you must first obtain this document by completing form 8802.  It is estimated that you will receive this form in a few weeks from the IRS.  Once you have received the form printed on the Department of Treasury stationary, you can then mail-in this letter to our Washington, D.C. office for processing through the U.S. Department of State.  Our processing time is four business days and we do provide FedEx 1-2 day return service.

Obtaining an apostille on your documents can be complicated and time consuming. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the Apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
