3

Submit the document to the Secretary of State (or U.S. Department of State for federal documents) for the apostille.

4

Obtain a certified Italian translation if required by Italy authorities.

5

Present the apostilled (and translated) document to the receiving authority in Italy.

## Apostille for Italy — FAQ

### Do I need an apostille or authentication for documents going to Italy?

Italy is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents only require an apostille from the issuing state's Secretary of State (or U.S. Department of State for federal documents). No embassy legalization is needed.

### How long does the apostille process take for Italy?

Standard processing typically takes 5–15 business days depending on the issuing state. We offer expedited 24–72 hour service for urgent Italy submissions. Federal documents handled by the U.S. Department of State usually take 8–12 weeks via mail or 1–2 weeks expedited.

### Do documents going to Italy need to be translated?

Yes, Italy typically requires a certified Italian translation. We coordinate with sworn/certified translators familiar with Italy requirements to ensure your translated documents are accepted.

### Can I get an FBI background check apostilled for Italy?

Yes. FBI background checks are federal documents that must be apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle the entire process — channeling, FBI report retrieval, and apostille — for use in Italy.

### What does it cost to apostille a document for Italy?

Costs vary by document type and the issuing state. State apostille fees range from $5–$30 per document, U.S. Department of State authentication is $20 per document, and our service fees include preparation, courier, and tracking. Call 833-430-6800 for a precise quote.
