International students and scholars who have lived in the United States are often asked, years later, for a U.S. police certificate. That certificate is the FBI background check, and it is far easier to get while you are still here. Pac Signing Notary takes fingerprints at our Hillsboro office, a short drive from Forest Grove.

Get your FBI check before you leave the country
- Why it comes up later: visa, residency and job applications in other countries commonly ask for a police certificate from every country you have lived in, including your time studying here.
- Why now is easier: the check is based on fingerprints. Having them taken abroad and sent to the United States takes much longer.
- What to ask for: the FBI background check, and the apostille as well if the country you are going to requires it.
For graduates heading abroad to work or teach
American graduates leaving for jobs or teaching posts overseas usually need the same document, apostilled, along with their degree. See apostille service in Forest Grove for diplomas and transcripts.
