Get fingerprinted for your FBI Background Check at our Summerlin location. Results in as low as 30 minutes. If you already have your documents, proceed directly to Step 2.
Upload your FBI background check PDF or images of your vital records and academic documents to our secure online form. Our specialists will review them to ensure they meet strict Portugal visa and immigration guidelines before you send us any physical documents.
Once verified, drop off your physical vital records, diplomas, or transcripts at our Las Vegas office, or mail your original certified copies to us using a tracked service (FedEx, UPS, or DHL). Note: FBI background checks can be submitted digitally if you have the official PDF; however, if you have a physical copy, it must be mailed or dropped off.
Once authenticated, we compile your apostilles along with certified translations into Portuguese accepted by AIMA and Portuguese consulates. Pick up your completed package from our office, or have it shipped securely to your home or office via tracked FedEx or DHL (international shipping available).
Portuguese consulates and AIMA (formerly SEF) have strict document guidelines. Here are the primary U.S. documents requiring apostilles and certified translations for Portugal.
Your documents must be apostilled by the specific state where they were issued, regardless of where your Portuguese consulate is.
We offer simultaneous processing for all 50 states, ensuring your entire document package complies with Portuguese consulate and AIMA guidelines.
We authenticate vital, academic, and corporate records from all 50 states for legal use in Portugal.
An apostille for Portugal is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of U.S. public documents (such as FBI background checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) for use in Portugal. Since both the United States and Portugal are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by Portugal authorities.
For state-issued vital records (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State where the document was originally recorded. For federal documents like FBI Background Checks, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Because consulates and visa application centers are highly strict, your document packages must be completely free of errors. Most foreign consulates require a certified or sworn translation of all U.S. documents. Attempting to submit standard translations, un-notarized diplomas, or background checks older than 90 days will result in your visa application being rejected.

Expedited processing for documents issued by any U.S. state (e.g. birth, marriage, and death certificates, academic diplomas, transcripts, or notarized legal documents). We offer complete local and online notary services if your document requires it first.
