Apostille Anywhere is a private, independent document logistics and expediting service. We are not affiliated with the FBI, the U.S. Department of State, or any government agency. Official background checks and apostilles can be obtained directly from government channels at a lower cost, though international shipping and domestic retrieval restrictions apply.

The 90-day clock Spain enforces

Spanish consulates and extranjería offices typically require your FBI background check to be issued within 90 days of your application, and the traditional mail-in apostille can eat 6-12 weeks of that window before your document even reaches you. Our hand-delivery route typically has the apostille ready in ~10-15 business days, leaving most of your window intact.

Plan backwards from your consulate appointment: the 90-day validity window starts the day the FBI issues your results. We time the whole chain around your appointment date before we start.

Spain FAQ

My consulate appointment is in 6 weeks. Is that enough time?+

Usually yes, once fingerprints are captured, FBI results typically take about a business day, the hand-delivered apostille ~10-15 business days, and DHL to Spain 3-5 days. That's roughly 3-4 weeks door to door. Tell us your appointment date and we'll confirm your exact timeline before you pay anything.

Does Spain accept a regular certified translation?+

No, Spain requires a traducción jurada (sworn translation) by a translator authorized by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, attached to the apostilled document. We arrange it in the correct order as an add-on.

Where do I get FBI fingerprints taken in Spain?+

Fingerprinting services in Madrid, Barcelona and other cities take ink prints on the FBI's FD-258 card, and some police stations assist. When you start, we send the card template and instructions and help you find the nearest option.
