What is Local Police Background Check Legalization & Apostille?
For Arab Countries (Legalization Process)
- Notarization: The Local Police Background Check must first be notarized by a U.S. notary public to authenticate the document.
- 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.
- Embassy Legalization: The final step is submitting the notarized Local Police Background Check to the relevant Embassy or Consular office of the destination country for Embassy legalization. This step ensures the document will be legally recognized by the authorities.
For Non-Arab Countries (Apostille Process)
- Notarization: The Local Police Background Check must first be notarized by a U.S. notary public to confirm its authenticity.
- Apostille: Once notarized, the document is certified by the U.S. Secretary of State, placing an Apostille on the background check. This certification ensures the Local Police Background Check is valid for use in any country that is a signatory to the Hague Convention.
Why Legalization or Apostille is Important
For Arab Countries (Legalization)
- Recognition by Foreign Authorities: The legalization process ensures that the Local Police Background Check will be accepted for immigration, visa, or employment purposes in Arab countries.
- Verification of Authenticity: Legalization guarantees that the Local Police Background Check is genuine and will be accepted by the relevant authorities in the destination country.
- Compliance with Legal Requirements: Legalizing the Local Police Background Check ensures it meets the legal standards and requirements of the destination country.
For Non-Arab Countries (Apostille)
- International Recognition: The Apostille certifies the Local Police Background Check as legally valid for use in all countries that accept Apostilles under the Hague Convention.
- Streamlined Process: The Apostille process is faster and simpler than embassy legalization, making it ideal for countries that accept Apostilles.
