Your next step
Confirm the requested service before arranging a visit. A question or quote request is not a confirmed appointment.
Describe your starting point
You may have nothing yet, completed cards, or an application already in progress. These situations call for different next steps. A coordinated quote should reflect work still needed rather than restarting the same stages automatically.
Keep any existing submission reference for a private discussion with the service team. Do not post your report, fingerprints or sensitive identifiers in a public question. Basic status and the recipient’s written requirement are enough to begin identifying the service.
Confirm the requested international document
Ask the receiving authority whether it wants an FBI Identity History Summary and what authentication and translation it requires. The destination matters, but a general country label cannot replace the exact requirement for your application.
An apostille and consular legalization are different routes. If a different authentication chain is needed, it should be separately scoped and quoted rather than described as the same apostille package.
Understand the sequence and roles
Fingerprint capture supplies the input. The FBI issues the report after the applicable request is processed. For an eligible federal document needing an apostille, the U.S. Department of State handles that certification. Oraz’s role is the agreed service and coordination, not issuing either government document.
A single appointment can start a process; it does not mean every document is finished during the visit. Ask for separate estimates for capture, report processing, authentication and delivery, with the assumptions made explicit.
What to request in the package quote
Ask for the included capture or card work, report support, government or partner charges, authentication coordination and delivery. Translation, extra cards and international shipping should appear explicitly if needed.
Use the full-service option on the FBI service page when discussing the package. There is no verified fixed total for the complete bundle in this guide; the final scope and price need confirmation before payment.
Questions about this topic
Can I apostille a fingerprint card instead?
The usual FBI report apostille route concerns the eligible official report, not a promise to apostille the card as its substitute.
Must I repeat fingerprints if cards are already ready?
Not automatically. Their suitability for the available report route should be checked first.
Is apostille included in every FBI fingerprint appointment?
No. Ask for it as a separate agreed stage or as an expressly included part of a coordinated quote.
