When a foreign employer or consulate asks for a background check, the first thing to settle is which one: an FBI check or an Oregon State Police check. They are apostilled by different offices. Pac Signing Notary takes fingerprints at our Hillsboro office, minutes from Aloha, and files whichever one you need. See our full Oregon apostille service.

Oregon cannot apostille an FBI check, and background checks printed from online services cannot be apostilled at all. If the request just says police certificate, ask whether they mean federal or state. Most countries mean the FBI check.
Details and timing: FBI background check with apostille and expedited FBI background check.
