Apostille Korea has begun providing a contactless service that obtains a US criminal background check and certifies it for official use, so applicants who need a US criminal-record certificate for a visa, employment or immigration matter can have it issued and authenticated without visiting in person.
- The service issues US criminal background checks contactless.
- Such certificates are often required for visas, employment or immigration.
- A US-issued document is certified in the United States for use abroad.
- Apostille Korea handles issuance, translation and certification online.
When a US criminal background check is needed
A US criminal background check — such as an FBI Identity History Summary or a state record — is frequently required for visa applications, overseas employment, immigration and professional licensing. Because the certificate is issued in the United States but used abroad, it must be authenticated in the country of issue. For the United States, a Hague Apostille Convention member, that generally means a US-issued apostille, often with a certified translation for submission in another country. Arranging this from afar has traditionally been slow and confusing.
How contactless issuance works
Apostille Korea obtains the US criminal background check and processes the apostille remotely, then handles any required translation, returning a certificate ready for official submission. Because the United States is a Hague Apostille member, the document is prepared with a US apostille rather than embassy legalization. By managing issuance and certification online, the company lets applicants secure a compliant US criminal-record certificate without travelling to the United States or making repeated in-person visits.
