Criminal Record Legalization & Apostille Services for International Use

A Criminal Record is an official document issued by government agencies or law enforcement authorities that lists an individual's criminal history. This document is often required for immigration, visa applications, employment, or adoption processes in foreign countries. To ensure that a Criminal Record is legally recognized internationally, it may need to undergo either a legalization or Apostille process, depending on the destination country.

What is Criminal Record Legalization & Apostille?

For Arab Countries (Legalization Process)

  1. Notarization: The Criminal Record must first be notarized by a U.S. notary public to authenticate the document.
  2. U.S. Arab Chamber of Commerce Stamp: After notarization, the document is certified with the U.S. Arab Chamber stamp, confirming its authenticity for use in Arab countries.
  3. Embassy Legalization: The final step is submitting the notarized Criminal Record to the relevant Embassy or Consular office for legalization. This ensures the document will be legally recognized by the destination country’s authorities.

For Non-Arab Countries (Apostille Process)

  1. Notarization: The Criminal Record must first be notarized by a U.S. notary public.
  2. Apostille: Once notarized, the document is certified by the U.S. Secretary of State, placing an Apostille on it. This confirms the document is valid for use in any Hague Convention signatory country.

Why Legalization or Apostille is Important

  • For Arab Countries: Recognition by foreign authorities, verification of authenticity, and compliance with legal requirements.
  • For Non-Arab Countries: International recognition and a streamlined, faster process.
